Last minute travel: How To Find Last Minute Travel Deals

With fuel prices continuing to skyrocket you might think it’s impossible to have a bargain vacation. Not true, says Travelocity’s Genevieve Brown, who has tips for last minute travelers.

How To Find Last Minute Travel Deals
* First, be open-minded and flexible about your destination and means of travel: think about vacations that don’t involve airfare—its hard to find empty seats at the last minute.

* If you do want to fly, consider looking for a trip based on theme, not location. So instead of having your heart set on Miami, focus on a general beach destination instead.

* You can find last minute travel deals by booking travel to eastern European cities such as Croatia rather than more expensive western European cities.

* Think about places that you wouldn’t normally consider in the summer months. The Caribbean, Hilton Head and Las Vegas have great deals during their off seasons.

* Find a family destination within your budget. All-inclusive resorts offer good bargains for last minute travel as you’ve paid one price already for the entire trip.

* There are great last minute travel deals on cruise lines. If you live in or near a port city, that may be a great option.

* Like an all-inclusive vacation, cruises are similar in that they include transportation, lodging, all meals and nightly entertainment. You can find last minute travel bargains to fit any budget, however, many are now adding fuel surcharges.

* National Parks let you tailor your vacation. You can make it as simple as staying in a tent, or as luxurious as staying in four-star lodge.

* Travel mid-week. Generally the best airfares are on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Why do some people find the phrase "Happy Holidays" offensive?

July 30th, 2010

This question is directed to those that find the phrase "Happy Holidays" more offensive than "Merry Christmas" for example. I can understand why some people would find "Merry Christmas" slightly offensive–because you’re assuming one follows Christianity. But "Happy Holiday" makes no such assumption. Is it the political correctness that is offensive/annoying or is it something else?

Who knows? I think the phrase, "gofuckyourself!" is much more offensive. Then again, that’s usually my response to "Happy Holidays."

Who sells exotic vacation packages?

July 30th, 2010

I’m looking for a package that includes everything, I don’t want to book a bunch of different items (hotel, flights, taxi, rental cars, etc). What one is a good travel agent? I want to see a lot of hot chicks that are looking for american men.

I’m confused. Did you want an Exotic vacation or an Erotic vacation?

has anyone booked owners direct or holiday rentals and been robbed?

July 28th, 2010

i was promised my deposit for damage back within two weeks eight weeks later still not recieved it

Have you taken this up with the company concerned. Although it is the owners of the advertised properties who manage all aspects of bookings (the sites take no commission), the company may be able to follow it up from their end for you.

Free cruise for listening to a 90 minute presentation at a travel agency, is this really FREE??

July 28th, 2010

I have an appointment tomorrow to attend a presentation at a new travel agency in the area. They said that we are guaranteed to receive the trip in exchange for listening to their information about their travel agency…Dream Vacations.

It will take me about 45 minutes each way to get there, and I will have to hire a babysitter for my children, so I really want to make sure this is legitimate before I go through the hassel.

They said we are not under any obligation to purchase anything, they hope that we will come back to them in the future to purchase vacation packages or tell our friends about them.

Any experience with this? Sounds kind of like a timeshare deal to me.

Could be a time share – the other scam is that I’ve seen run from Canada is that the 3 or 4 day cruise is "free" but you have to buy the airfare from them. Typically they bump up the price of the airfare to recoup the cost of the "free" cruise.

In these cases your 3-4 day "free" cruise ends up costing between $700-$1000 per person. About the same as you would pay if you bought a airfare/cruise package from an agent.

I’ve had lots of free vacations offered to me but never went because I figure that it’s a scam. Good luck if you decide to go but I have my doubts.
