Online Shopping Tips for More Savings

Vacation packages offer low prices by combining components, such as flights and hotels into a single package booking. Here are some suggestions and ideas to keep your vacation costs down even more:

• Keep an eye out on our monthly Web Specials.
  Every month our travel experts bring us deals for select destinations. The specials vary, but you can save more on your vacation package by purchasing during a sale.
• Travel just before or after the school vacations.
  Vacation travel is always in demand, and prices often drop as the demand does.
• Depart on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday.
  These days often reflect the lowest airline fares.
• Include a Saturday night stay.
  Some hotels offer additional discounts for stays that include a weekend.
• Travel in the "shoulder" or "low" seasons.
  Crowds are fewer, fares are lower, and accommodation is often further discounted when you travel during off-peak times.
• Book 60 days or more before you travel.
  Often times, the further out you plan, the better the package rate with improved access to cheaper airline fares.
• Be flexible.
  Check the days (or weeks, if possible) before and after your initial choice of travel dates. Sometimes a small tweak can save you money.
• When you see a good deal, buy it!
  Availability changes constantly for both flights and hotel rooms. A good deal that you see today may not be available tomorrow.
