Best Websites To Find Travel Deals
This week we thought we’d share some of of our secrets to finding the best travel deals on the internet. I know families that spend hours searching for the best deals and in the end just give up. So, every Wednesday we post what we believe to be some of the best travel deals for families each week. We also tweet sweet deals throughout the week. However, we’re often asked where we find these deals and how we keep on top of them. Great question – so, this week we’ll share some of our favorite websites for finding travel deals.
- Travelzoo – This is one of the most comprehensive travel deal websites out there. Every Wednesday, they post their Top 20 travel deals for the week, which is a great supplement to what we post here. They’ve sorted their deals by type and region, which makes it pretty easy to find the perfect deal for you. We also love the fact that they also partner with travel providers to secure special promotions for their readers. Check it out and subscribe to their newsletter.
- Slickdeals – A relative newcomer, Slickdeals is a compilation of user forums where folks just like you post deals in various categories. Although the Travel category (under Hot Deals) isn’t bustling with activity, you will find lots of great deals every week. We find that the quality of travel deals that are posted far outweigh the lack of quantity.
- FlyerTalk – Run by Frequent Flyer Guru Randy Petersen, this is a great place to discover air and hotel deals. The Mileage Run Deals and Hotel Deals forums in the Miles and Points section is an excellent place to catch mistake fares and low hotel rates as well as long-haul flights at discount prices. As the community has grown (as a result of extensive publicity), the deals have become more scarce and even the hotel chains and airlines troll to discover their own mistakes. This has created a subculture or that trades deals privately – of course, you’ll be out of luck unless you’re an “insider”.
Happy Deal Hunting! Check back next week as we provide more deals for your summer family travel.
