Ticket Deals - Travel Deals

There are quite a few travel companies offering pretty good deals this time of year, but Southwest Vacations actually offers them all year round: Check out Southwest Airlines Vacations’ destinations. Find affordable air/hotel packages to exciting destinations from coast to coast.

If I was looking for a vacation package anywhere in America I would start with Southwest Vacations first. They do really well with getting discounted hotel rooms and such, but their best feature is they are able to combine their own cheap flights with bulk-priced hotel rooms in order to give you probably the best deal anywhere. They were smart enough to buy all their jet fuel way in advance, so they are still able to offer low prices without having to charge for water or for the overhead air thing either.

After having to practically apologize all summer long, because the best deals I was finding weren’t really all that great compared to any other time of year, it’s finally nice to have some really good deals to point out, like the fact that Lessno can save you a bunch of money on international flights: Get up to 40% Off International Flights at Lessno

This thing says they can save you up to 40% off, but if you look more closely at their site they offer some things at up to 50% off. I’m not sure exactly how these guys and a few other sites can get prices lower than the main travel sites, which tend to all have the same fares, but Lessno does it, and they have a good reputation as well.

As I scour the internet for the best deals I can find for my readers I’ve noticed a big trend in the last couple weeks, and this is great news for all of us: United Vacation Packages
We provide vacation destinations including the Caribbean, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Mexico and more.

I think it’s a combination of all the ominous talk of a recession in the United States combined with the end of the winter getaway season, but prices on these warm-weather vacations are crazy low at the moment.

The fine people at United Vacations have jumped into the fray by cutting around 35% off some of their normal prices. I think I’d be pretty unhappy if I just got back from a $2,000 trip to discover that people just now booking are getting the same trip for $1,300, but that seems to be what’s happening.

We talked quite a bit about Funjet over the winter, and I just looked at some of their spring deals and I must say I continue to be impressed: Funjet Vacation Packages
We offer exciting vacation destinations including Las Vegas, Florida, Mexico, the Caribbean and more.

As the season transitions toward warmer weather they seem to be offering some excellent Las Vegas deals as part of their lineup, but they’ve also got great late-season deals to Mexico, Florida, and the Caribbean as well. It will be interesting what they offer as summer approaches, but for now they seem like an excellent one-stop site for great spring travel deals.

I know it’s a little late in the season to think about an all-inclusive resort in the sun, but before you write the idea off have a look at this deal: Click Here to get up to TWO FREE NIGHTS at Sandals Resorts plus Save up to 50% off !

It’s like they are begging us to head down there, and while begging doesn’t work very often I think it will work this time.

Two free nights plus up to 50% off? If this was a leper colony I think I’d still be tempted to sign up as long as drinks were reasonably priced. It may seem too good to be true, but honestly at the Negril and Royal Caribbean locations they are offering two nights free and 45% off, and at many other locations it’s one free night and 50% off.

If you are at all unsure of where you want to go, Expedia’s new Top Destinations page could really come in handy: Top Travel Deals at Expedia.com

Instead of poking around hoping for a good deal to the place you have in mind, now Expedia reverses the process and shows you all the places they have great deals for at the moment. I have some time off coming up soon and I’m not sure where I want to go, so a list like this is a godsend.

You can look at a scroll of all the hot deals on the top right corner of the page. How about a Holland America 7-night cruise for $449? I’ve been thinking about taking a cruise lately and I can’t believe prices are so low. Sure, I know it’s an interior cabin and there are a few extra charges in addition to that price, but that’s just a little over $60 per day!

If you’ve been thinking about taking a late winter vacation down to the Caribbean, the timing is pretty good at the moment because late-season specials are upon us: CHEAP CARIBBEAN VACATIONS

With all this talk of a recession in the United States, and around the world actually, it seems that many people have called off vacation plans, or have changed to holidays near home. The result of all this is that resorts in the Caribbean are now offering prices that are similar to their hurricane season prices, and yet the weather will be great down there for many more months to come!

This is a special fare sale that isn’t being widely publicized, but I got wind of it so I wanted to pass it on to you guys pronto because it ends soon: Worldwide fare sale! Travel the world from $89+ roundtrip! - Expires 3/17/08

I’ll be the first to admit the text is a bit misleading because it’s not like you can fly from New York to Hong Kong for $89 roundtrip or anything, but once you get past that and really look at the prices you’ll see many of these are really cheap, especially for this time of the year.

If you are sure of your next destination then you might want to check to see if Funjet has current deals there. If you aren’t sure this is a great way to find the best values currently being offered: Hot Vacation Deals
Funjet Vacations offers hot deals on travel packages. Check out this week’s exciting destinations!

I’m becoming more of a Funjet fan each time I check their site. They collect the best deals they can find and then put them all on one page. There’s a deal for the next couple weeks where you can fly free to Bermuda. I’m not sure how they make money on that, but I’ll leave that to them. Oh, I see it’s a free companion ticket, but that’s still a hell of a deal if you ask me.

People often ask me what it’s like to be the writer of the most talked about vacation deals column on the Internet. The answer is, it’s a privilege and the success of our Coupon Code Mondays is your doing, not mine. Here we go again: Use your MasterCard for a 3+ night stay and save $50. Couponcode: SAVE50

I found out about this coupon code last week, but I saved it specifically for our Monday feature. My fellow coupon code fans are well aware of this, but in case you are new to the game these credit card ones are some of the sweetest codes out there. The reason being, you can search around on Travelocity to find the best deal you can, where it almost seems like a misprint or a mistake of some kind, and then BAM you apply this coupon code for $50 additional off! Woo hoo!
