Are Super Bowl vacation packages travel deals or not?

miamistadiumOne of the things you learn when you start researching the subject is that as maligned as the “vacation package” can be among people who consider themselves hard-core budget travelers, a package deal can often mean huge savings over booking each element separately. Of course, this isn’t always true, but it’s true often enough that it’s always worth looking for vacation package deals to the places you’re planning to visit as you’re looking up airfare and hotel prices.

But let’s take the Super Bowl as an example of a big event for which there are plenty of vacation packages being offered. Are they a better deal than booking a la carte? Will you save money with Super Bowl vacation packages?

The short answer is – sometimes. But there are enough cases where a vacation package is so much more costly than booking your flight, hotel, and car rental separately that it’s critical you do your homework in this case instead of just assuming the package “deal” is really a deal. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when you’re looking at Super Bowl vacation packages vs. booking your Super Bowl trip piece by piece.

Cheap Flights to Miami

Why Go: Miami is often called the “Gateway of the Americas” due to its cultural and linguistic ties to North, South, Central America, and the Caribbean. It lies between the Miami River, Biscayne Bay, the Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean. But forget gateways and get to the beach.

South Beach is great for people-watching. Its ten miles of beach plays host to the beautiful (and sometimes eccentric) people. Don’t forget the backdrop. The Art Deco district within South Beach has the largest concentration of Art Deco arcitecture in the world. In contrast, North Beach boasts examples of Miami Modernism architecture and uncrowded beaches.

Don’t forget to take a trip to Little Havana. Close your eyes and you might even believe you are in Cuba. The sounds of salsa and merengue call out from stores while old men in guayaberas enjoy a cigar with their game of dominoes.

While sauntering about, grab a strong and sweet Cuban coffee. Pick one up on most street corners for around $1. It’ll keep your feet tapping as you make your way around this exciting city.
