Travel Deals!

[spaggyroe]

Since RME is full of adventurers, I thought it would be good to have a thread dedicated to sharing travel deals. Hopefully this helps us all adventure more.

ONE RULE:
Don't commercialize anything here (such as promoting you, or your friends travel agency, etc).


Here's one to get things rolling.

Are you saying that because of Big Black Dick?

I see Kailua-Kona for $358 on Delta in April May.

They've also had Kauai for 20k points and $12 on Delta.com for a couple months. I almost jumped on that one myself.

This is the enhanced new Green Deal. Trigger global warming for less (grin).

Woah, that is a sweet deal! Makes me nervous not knowing what hotel they put you in. Not all countries count "stars" the same ha ha.

Is there a place everyone goes for the flights they need to book to get the best deals? (Anchorage in June)

 

[Cody]

I use Google flights first, then kind of go from there. I'm cheap (poor) so I'll book single legs from one airline to get to a city with way cheaper round trip rates on a different airline, but that just takes some research time and the motivation to save beer money.

 

[Stephen]

I start with Kayak, and then like Cody I'll piece together an itinerary that has the best rates and flights. Unless someone else is paying, rarely am I on the same airline for the whole trip.

Heck, even if you get there and hate the hotel and stay elsewhere it is a good deal. I think we paid closer to $1,500 last time we went to Korea.

I have tried a number of different sites but end up back on Travelocity pretty much every trip. I have found we are usually on different airlines coming and going to get the best price and flight schedule.
Keep in mind that if you book legs separately, a delay in one will not get your next leg rebooked if you miss it so give an extra buffer. Sometimes the risk is worth it however (I saved over $1,000 each for my wife and I flying to Ushuaia, Argentina, later this month by booking SLC to Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires to Ushuaia separately but gave us an overnight in BA each way in case of delays.)
