Deals - Travel Deals

You may have dismissed Twitter as yet another online space for blatant self-promotion, but it turns out there is a whole lot more use for Twitter than simply keeping up to date on what Lindsay Lohan ate for breakfast or where Ashton Kutcher woke up this morning. Twitter can also be a powerful tool used for saving money and scoring travel deals. It may even change how exactly you go about making your travel plans.

For example, discount carrier JetBlue has a twitter feed which only announces deals on last-minute flights every Monday—and they aren’t the only airline who has started offering up special fares and promotions via Twitter. (Follow @JetBlueCheeps for the weekly deals)

The greatest part about finding travels on Twitter? You can choose your level of participation on the social networking site. Don’t feel like sending your daily thoughts out into Twitterland? Than simply choose to follow sites and companies that offer up deals via Twitter and check the site exclusively when you are on the prowl for travels deals or in the midst of planning your next vacation. No tweets about your life necessary.

Hawaii used to be a luxury destination—not only was it expensive to get to, but the islands were mostly full of spendy resorts that could cost you an arm and a leg once you get there. Enter the recession. With far fewer people traveling at all this summer, nonetheless to destinations like Hawaii, planes and hotel rooms have been left partly empty, which has in turn driven prices way down. As a result of the suffering economy, airlines, hotels, travel agents, just about everyone is offering up some pretty fantastic Hawaii deals. I’ve even seen some prices so low I’ve taken a double take at the computer screen, unable to believe how cheap it is to go to paradise right now.

Once considered the more expensive, high-season time to travel, low season prices to Hawaii are hanging around well into the summer. United is offering a great sale on vacation packages to the islands right now—an unusual occurrence during the usually busy summer travel season. Hawaii is on Sale!

Luckily, the suffering economy has recently made Hawaii way more of a budget travel option than it has been in decades (ok, lucky for us, not so lucky for Hawaii’s economy). Hotels and airlines are offering up free nights, coupons and money back for booking your trip to the islands. Ok, twist my arm, I guess you can talk me into going to Hawaii.

I’ll admit I’m one of those girls who sees the words “Clearance sale” and my heart beats just a little faster. This is probably because I love shoes and I love a great deal. Now, since I love travel even more than I love shoes, it is probably no surprise that when I see the words clearance next to travel I get real excited. Puerto Vallarta Clearance Sale!
