Question by Dee G: Looking for a good deal on a holiday vacation?
My boyfriend and I would like to take a small vacation during the christmas holidays, but we don’t have a big budget, so we need to find a good vacation deal. Does anyone have some good destinations in mind that you can generally get a good deal on? We’d prefer travel outside the U.S., but realize this will up our costs tremendously. I’m wondering if there are certain travel destinations that aren’t bombarded by tourists during the holidays that may offer good deals?

Question by icyblue1986: Disney Vacation Deal, is this still available?
Hello Everyone,

Last year i was looking at some christmas break options (anytime during december) for my friends and I, we are college students and were looking incredible deals on various trips. Last year I came across 2 deals that were hard to choose from, disney world, had 5days/4 nights (through their own site) for like 259$ /per person including base park tickets and a value level hotel; we ended up choosing a cruise the week before christmas, that was about the same price. I have since started dating someone who would love to go to disney, and i would love to be able to find this deal again for her, because it’s the only way i could make that trip happen. Does anyone have ANY clue as to how i could find this deal again, i’ve tried basic searches and came up with nothing, any ideas, help, or if you know they do it annually i would apprieciate it soo much if you would share this with me.

Thanks
– Icyblue1986

That price seems way low if it includes tickets.

Anyway, Disney will offer discounts when it needs to fill its rooms and the discounts don’t usually appear until just a few months before the dates of travel. Right now is way too early to find discounted packages for December. September/October is when they’ll be released for early December. Don’t bother with late December; it’s peak season and they’ll never discount then.

Question by Helsbels: Where can I get the best flight deal from London to Vancouver or xmas?
I’ve tried all major flight companies (zoom, BA, Air Canada, US airlines etc) & cheapflights.co.uk, travelsupermarket.com… The best deal I’ve found so far is Scandanavian airlines (£485) return to Seattle & then I’d drive from Seattle to Vancouver.
Travelling from 22nd December 06 – returning 5th January 06
Should I wait till neareer the time for cancellations?

Best answer:

Answer by pinky
I think that is probably the best price that you will get. I live in the London but am from Vancouver and go back and forth quite often. Christmas is the worst time for tickets and when I booked last minute a few years ago I paid 800 pounds on Air Canada. Don’t wait to book

Question by Sarah: Would it be cheaper to book ahead or wait for a last minute deal?
In January/February I’m meeting up with a friend in Las Vegas for a few days. I’ve never been before and was wondering if the best deals for air fair and hotels are to be had by booking in advance or through last minute travel sites like Travel Zoo. Is the price difference significant or does it not even matter that much?

Best answer:

Answer by UK_2_USA
Most Vegas hotels allow you to cancel a reservation at no cost if you do so a day or so before you travel.

Find the best deal you can now, check out the cancellation policy and as long as you can cancel at no cost book it now. You can then watch how prices develop over time and book a different room nearer the time if the price drops (and also cancel your original one).

Question by jdbinga: We are trying to find the best deal to Cebu for the month of December to January?
i have searched and searched on the internet. I know about all the standard search engines for travel. Four Adults traveling. If I could fly into another SE Asian city then onto Philippines this would be ok. Why is it so much higher to fly directly into cebu than say Ho chi Minh then onto Cebu? Any help would be appreciated. thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Chris
Although Cebu is an International Airport, the volume of international flights there is quite smaller compared to the traffic in manila. It would be best to take a flight to manila then another connecting flight to cebu

Philippine Airlines has over 5-6 flights to cebu everyday

Answer by Cave Creek
Look for cruises. Ask about including air fare both ways. It will be cheaper and you will all enjoy the all-inclusive cruise.Look for a cruise out of Miami, or Port Canaveral. Go to vacationstogo.com and cruisedeals.com and search for the best fares for two inside cabins.

Question by dazegg2000: If I am going to book a holiday to Kenya, would I get a cheaper deal if I book it during the January sales?
Do travel agent have sales in January like other shops?

Best answer:

Answer by maurice k
You will get cheaper rates if you book during the low season and January falls within the low season. The high season is June – September. Also if you are on budget you should get smaller travel agents – they will give you good rates. I am a tour guide / consultant based in Nairobi. I deal with budget safaris around east africa. You can get me at xkcox@yahoo.com I can assist you to choose the best Kenya safari. Please feel free to contact me for further enquiries.
