Travel Tips: Last Minute Travel Deals

Unsure where to go this summer? Why not take advantage of last minute travel deals on hotels and airfare.

Introducing Travelzoo:
Travelzoo is a hotel and airfare deal newsletter with over 12 million subscribers wordwide. Travelzoo’s deal experts source, research and test-book recommended deals before publishing. “We also provide our subscribers tips on when offers are available and where to find the best deals.”

What does that mean to me?
It’s the strength in numbers! With an audience of 12 million subscribers, hotels and airlines with unsold rooms and seats looking for some last minute business work an arrangement with Travelzoo. To the businesses this is one tool that will get your special out to a lot of people fast!

Travel Tips: How To Find Cheap Flight Deals

My last post I introduced Kayak a travel deal aggregator, but what if you don’t have time to search every day for deals or always wanted to go to Las Vegas but missed the seat sales.

Introducing Airfarewatchdog:
What makes this site different from sites like Expedia and Kayak, it is actually run by a small handful of people who keep an eye out for travel deals. “We do not use automation or computer programs to find the fares we list.”

How it works?
The way it works is you tell the site what your home airport is and how often you want to be updated. Bowser does the rest!

Travel Tips: Cheap Flights, Cars, Hotels

With Summer Vacation season in full tilt many of us are getting out of the city, visiting family, going to weddings, etc. Have you thought going from site to site checking prices on flights is tedious? I sure do!

Introducing Kayak.com
Kayak is the Google equivalent in travel search engines and was started by founders of Orbitz, Travelocity and Expedia who believed in a better online travel experience. Kayak is not here to try to sell you something, it goes out and finds all the best possible rates available from hotels, flights, cars and cruises.

YVR to

YVR to San Francisco

Another great feature is the Trend Chart. This gives you a better picture on how prices are if you were flexible on your dates. For example, if you know you want to go to San Francisco for the WordCamp, Sunday August 10-14 would be cheaper.

Kayak makes money from the Google Ads you see around the sites and click through from the results. They do not monetize the results so companies can not “Pay” to land on the top spot.

Where are you going this summer? Do you have any other travel tips?
