Archive for the ‘cheap travel packages’ Category

I’m trying to leave like in 2 weeks, for just 1 week…

You have lots of places where you can buy travel packages to spain from US. one of them is http://www.makemytrip.com/ also when you spain you can also stay here by booking your hotels at cheap rate. You can book your ticket at http;//www.hotels2stay.net/

We are looking at places such as New York and Mauritiaus (very different I know), but need to keep it as cheap as possible. It will just be the two of us.

Any advice would be very much appreciated thanks.

Talk to your local travel agency. This is what they do for a living and they have a ton of resources available to them. Not only are they actually are more affordable than you would imagine, but they are able to get a ton of deals that you couldn’t necessarily find online.

Or are they priced fairly? For example a travel package to Alaska would cost $4000 for one week with flights, hotels, tours and attractions.

Bonus Quiz:
Which country consistently has the most tourists?
Which European country is the cheapest to travel to (the answer will surprise you)?
The answers are France for most tourists and Croatia for being cheapest despite its location.

Generally, packages are cheaper than if you purchase the airfare and hotel separately. I’ve gotten some excellent deals on international flights/hotel on Expedia.

BQ: Hmm, good question, I really don’t know. I’d guess maybe France or Italy?
Don’t know that, either. Will you send me the answers?

hey guys, i found a travel package that is really really cheap. i want to reserve it because i know by the time i get my paycheck it will be more expensive, anybody know what websites or any websites you can reserve travel packages on? thanks alot!

It is always best to phone the agency (see if you can get it even cheaper) then ask them to hold it on an "option". If it includes flights they will not be able to hold the flights for you but they should certainly hold the room / cabin for you for a period of a few days. Not all companies will do this for you but it is always worth giving it a go.
Good luck

Does anyone know of any cheap packages to Alton Towers during July/August, or indeed have any travel agencies that they could recommend? Any advice in general regarding a trip to Alton Towers?

I’m not sure from Ireland but i know currently if you buy a meal from Burger King you can ask for a voucher that gives you 50% off the price of an adult ticket at Alton Towers

Air travel is perhaps the most expensive mode of travelling. But it is also very convenient and time saving at the same time. Often when we travel by air plane, we want to make this mode of transportation more inexpensive and affordable so that the trip may not cost us a fortune.

With a few tips, you would surely be able to find cheap airline tickets. Whenever you are planning a vacation where you need to travel by air, you should try to buy a vacation package which includes airfare plus lodging and other sight seeing trips as well. Such holiday packages are really cost effective and make you save a lot of money on your trips.

Further, advanced bookings are also really convenient, if in case you want to save money on your airline tickets. It is also seen that you are able to save a lot, if you are not rigid about the dates of travelling. A day here or there also makes you save a lot of money on your airline tickets.

If you choose to fly by taking connecting flights, that would also be a cheaper option as compared to taking a non stop flight. It looks a little inconvenient but if you are able to save a few bucks in such a way, then it isn’t a bad deal either.

In the present scenario, Internet can also come to your rescue where there is a plethora of options available to you in the form of various websites which are curious to serve you. You can as well avail cheap air tickets via the World Wide Web.

After all, we all know that it is our hard earned money and we must value it. Cheap airline tickets in such scenario can come to your respite.

People have been traveling for centuries now. Half of our world would not have existed if people did not have the fire to travel. One thing great about traveling is, you not only discover new destinations, you discover a new “Self”. As the noted American writer Mr. James Baldwin stated “I met a lot of people in Europe. I even encountered myself”. Travel anywhere and you would be surprised by the results.

People travel for varied reasons. One may travel for self or the family or just to spend money, one thing is for sure we all enjoy it.

Let me share a personal experience for you. The other day I took up a room in my own city and spent the day there. For me that was a great holiday, for I had no idea about that part of town and everything was new to me. The feel of a new environment was rejuvenating and refreshing. Well this is certainly not the perfect holiday, but it certainly makes me live for my next travel, at places hopefully far off! As put by the great Ray Bradbury “Half the fun of the travel is the esthetic of lostness”

The snaps we take on a holiday linger for a lifetime. The dancing in the rains or the grace of the sun, life was never so good.

Traveling is also about how you like life to be. Should your booking be done well in advance or they should be done when you arrive at your destination.

Whatever be the nature of your travel or holiday, one thing is for sure you need to have the right resources in place to make it a success. Even an office trip is so much more work friendly if you have right infrastructure in place.

While you’re unlikely to get an all-expenses-paid trip unless you win a game show, you can still get portions your trip for free if you book certain promotions or take advantage of some alternative modes of travel. Here are my picks for top limited-time and long-term “free” travel deals worth checking out.

1. Kids Fly Free to French Polynesia

Never considered French Polynesia for family vacation? Maybe Air Tahiti Nui’s kids-fly-free deal will persuade you. When you book two adult Air Tahiti Nui fares from Los Angeles to French Polynesia from January 12 to May 31, 2009, you’ll get two free fares for kids ages 11 or younger. The deal is valid for flights to Papeete, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, Bora Bora, Rangiroa, Manihi, Tikehau, and Fakarava. Adult fares start at $1,428, including all taxes. You’ll still be responsible for paying taxes on the free children’s fares.

2. Organize a Group Tour, Travel for Free

If you organize a group of people to book a package tour together, many tour companies will allow you, the group leader, to travel for free. You can choose to accept the freebie or spread some savings out to everyone in your group. Either way, it’s a good deal. Each tour operator’s group tour policy varies a bit, but most require you to put together a group with at least 10 paying individuals before you’ll get a free spot.

For example, Grand Circle Tours, a company that runs trips geared towards mature travelers on six continents, lets a group leader travel for free with 10 paid travelers on river cruises or 16 paid travelers on land tours. Go Ahead Tours, a similar operator, gives two free spots for every group of 12 or more paying guests. Be sure to ask your tour company if they offer similar deals.

3. Pay for Three Nights, Get Seven at Club Med

Club Med’s recurring “Seven-Day Weekend” package is back, promising seven nights for the price of three at eight of its all-inclusive resorts. The deal is valid at family-friendly Club Meds in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; Cancun and Ixtapa, Mexico; Sandpiper, Fla.; Caravelle, Guadeloupe; and Buccaneer’s Creek, Martinique; as well as adult-only Clubs Meds on Columbus Isle, Bahamas, and on Turks and Caicos. You must book by December 15 and travel by February 13 to take advantage of the promotion. Seven-Day Weekend prices range from $793 per person (normally $1,190) at the Sandpiper, Florida Club Med to $1,065 per person (normally $1,610) at the Buccaneer’s Creek, Martinque Club Med.

4. Free Weekend Rental Days From Hertz

Hertz knows the only the thing better than a weekend away is a three-day weekend away. The company makes it easier for renters to take longer weekend trips by offering the first day free when you rent a car for three or more weekend days, including a Saturday overnight. The deal applies to economy- through premium-class cars rented through March 31, 2009, in the U.S. and Canada, excluding Hawaii

5. Kids-Fly-and-Ski-Free Packages

For the past several winters, United and American Airlines have partnered with popular Western ski resorts to offer kids-fly-and-ski-free vacation packages. Generally, these promotions allow children 12 and under to fly and ski for free when an adult pays for an air-hotel-ski package at a participating resort. While not all fly-and-ski-free promotions have been announced yet for the 2008-2009 ski season, Steamboat Ski Resort in Colorado is already advertising its package, which requires a two-night minimum stay at a ResortQuest Steamboat vacation rental. Valid travel dates and blackout periods apply. Be sure to check the American Vacations and United Vacations websites in the days to come to see if other resorts join the promotion.

6. Swap Homes, Stay Free

Why not swap your apartment in New York for a cottage in the English countryside? Or maybe my Utah ski condo for your second home in Costa Rica?

By participating in a home exchange, you can get free use of another person’s house if you’re willing to let them stay in yours. It’s a common practice for a certain segment of travelers who prefer staying in vacation homes over hotels and are a bit flexible with where and when they travel. Essentially, two home owners in different places agree to switch places for vacation, using one another’s homes for no charge. Home exchange websites make it easy to find and make arrangements with other home owners, with the website usually charging a membership fee in order for you to make contact with potential exchange partners. HomeExchange.com is one of the largest of such sites, including more than 24,000 listings in destinations across the globe. A one-year membership costs $100.

7. Free Universal Orlando Theme Park Passes

This coming fall and winter, Universal Orlando is giving kids ages 3 to 9 free Unlimited Admission theme park passes when parents book four or more nights at a participating hotel and buy adult Unlimited Admission tickets. Unlimited Admission passes grant the holder seven days of access to both Universal parks, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Passes cost $95 each for both kids and adults, so the free child’s ticket is a big savings.

To get the free passes, you must book a stay of four or more nights at one of six local hotels, including the onsite Loews Royal Pacific Resort. Valid travel dates and blackout periods vary by hotel, but all require bookings to be made by the end of December.

8. Free Airfare for Crystal Cruises Panama Canal Sailings

When you book one of three Crystal Cruises’ Panama Canal sailings, you’ll receive free airfare between Los Angeles and Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, or Palm Beach, Fla. The cruises, which range from 14 to 16 days, sail between Miami and Los Angeles, so Crystal is essentially promising a free flight home from the final port. Departures include January 6, February 16, and May 7, 2009. Cruise fares start at $3,595 per person, not including taxes and fees.

9. Skip the Hostel, Couch Surf for Free

For young budget travelers, sometimes hostels just aren’t cheap enough. In that case, why not crash for free with one of the nearly 800,000 members of the Couch Surfing Project, a worldwide network that helps travelers link up with hosts offering free accommodations. The mission of the network is to promote cultural exchange through free hosted overnight stays. Travelers can find and request stays with potential hosts on the CouchSurfing website. Hosts offer a free place to sleep and oftentimes show guests around or share advice on places to visit nearby. As a member, you can request places to stay and host guests as you please. The site has some checks in place to help ensure the safety and trustworthiness of hosts and surfers.

10. Free Meals and Attractions for Kids in Hawaii

Families staying at ResortQuest Hawaii hotels can take advantage of free meals and free attractions admissions for kids year round. There are 26 participating hotels and condo resorts located on Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island.

Upon checking into a ResortQuest property, children ages 12 and under receive a special ID card good for the length of your stay. With the ID, kids get free meals and admissions at dozens of island restaurants and attractions when accompanied by a paying adult. For example, on Oahu, kids get in free to the Polynesian Cultural Center and Honolulu Zoo with an adult admission. On Maui, children eat free with the purchase of an adult entree at the Kobe Japanese Steakhouse and the Beach Club Restaurant.
