With the end of October hurdling faster and faster at us I have hunted down some additional great travel deals. I've searched quite a bit this week and the pickings on some of these seem so-so. So here we go world, with travel deals that just might work.

Let us start our tour in Boston Mass. Yahoo's esaver's program and specifically offered through ebookers is offering nightly rates at a great hotel. The Boston Park Plaza Hotel has rates of about $88 a night !!! No lie. You can check out the accompanying link provided at yahoo or if you like to find more information about the Boston Park Plaza Hotel Reservations with this link. Boston is particularly beautiful this time of year especially if you were to go to the outskirts and visit some great suburban and country spots. This deal is definitely worth looking into right now.

The other day I said to a friend, why haven't I made trip to Death Valley just yet? Interesting question I'm assuming for most of you.

Travel Discounts for Continuing Declining Climate..

A common theme of topic in the last few weeks of my posts has been the ailing economy and it's effects, to one degree or another, on travel and tourism. Those effects being either how these effects are hurting travel professionals and at the same time how this is presenting opportunities for consumers. Today I continue with travel deals I've found that are gems for the discerning consumer traveler. 

The spotlight today is a deal I found through Expedia.com.  The latest convert to better deals for the consumer is Virgin Atlantic. Specifically, seats in it's Premium Economy section. Currently, and it's not known for how long this deal with last, deals for great flights from major United States cities to and from London England. Rates are quoted one way, and a complete round trip ticket package is needed to be purchased to get the discount. Great rates from US cities to the Jolly Old Land of England include $517 to and from New York City, $819 to and from Las Vegas, $710 to and from Miami. Many other deals for other major US cities exist. Check out the above link to Expedia for more information.

Discount Vacation Packages for Second Thought Destinations...

If one were to put a gun to another's head and force them to list out, say five destinations that are the quintessential definition and synonymous with vacation it would be safe to say that 9 times out of 10 that list would include Las Vegas, Hawaii, Miami, Orlando and Cancun. Of course other cities and/or destinations could come to mind, but the point is there is no doubt that a second tier of destinations is probably equally equated to vacation destination. Two such places in my mind include Niagara Falls and Bermuda. Of course in this time of economic downturn and financial uncertainty the topic of vacations is far from many peoples minds. For those of you that still want to find that silver lining and also see what kind of discounts are available for a getaway, I have a few for Niagara Falls and Bermuda.

First for Niagara Falls. In doing some research for quality places to recommend one such resort and package kept showing up. The Americana Conference Resort and Spa is a can't miss. First it's a top quality property. Second, it has it all !!! From well appointed rooms and suites, to a first class spa and finally a fantastic indoor water park called Waves. General package prices that include room, voucher for dinner and passes to the water park average around $250 to $300 a night. Special rates are available for certain dates.

The second spotlight destination, Bermuda is equally fantastic as an option. And just like Niagara Falls, some great vacation packages are available, especially in the face of a soft consumer market. After some careful searching, the best place I've seen for finding great packages to Bermuda is the official Bermuda Tourism site. The site offers a compilation of packages from various resorts and varying by premiums. The average package price I've seen for a four day trip per person is about $750. That's fantastic.

There are other great destinations that often are a second thought. Trust me, many offer hidden treasures at deep discounts to the best known destinations and are worth a look.

Dare I say Christmas Vacation Packages...

I know I know, it's not even Halloween yet. The point is it really is not too early to find a great deal for the holiday season. To be quite honest, planning for a trip is the right thing to do if in fact you really want to go away during this time. There are many different ways to go with a great holiday trip. A trip to a sunny destination, or getaway to a ski vacation or anything in between. Let's start with a few that I've seen.

I'd like to start with a trip that I'd even like to take. A trip to Fiji. Any red blooded American Male, or better yet, Male in the world has probably thought for even just a second, why can't I just run away to the islands. Well for most of you, whether you realize it or not, those islands are most likely Fiji. Scenes of scantly clad women, unbelievable sunsets and so much more can be found right on Fiji. I came accross this Fiji Vacation Package while looking for vacations like this. The package really is incredible. It offers for five nights accommodations in what is called an oceanfront bure. You get a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, plus two 60 minute spa treatments. Damn, I may stop writing this post now and make my reservations for this package right now.

Ok, let's go in the complete and opposite direction, and get your skis on people !! Ok, I'm not kidding, before I go one step further in telling you anything I want to see some skis on your feet....Ok that's better. Well in doing my due dilligence I came across a great group of ski vacation packages being offered by Frontier Airlines. The majority of these vacations and the destinations they serve can be found in the western United States in states like Utah, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, and even in New Mexico. Vacation package rates range for, on average of a four night stay, somewhere in the area of $600 to $1300. There are a variety of premiums being offered for each package so take a look at the specific deal for each destination.

Many of the deals I speak about time sensitive so it's important to book these now for the holiday season. I just might see you in Fiji around Christmas.

 

 

Frontier Airlines has kicked off a series of deals on ski vacations to destinations throughout Colorado including Telluride, Vail, Crested Butte, and more.

These ski deals include airfare and accommodations as well as specials such as free-night stays, early booking discounts, and “ski for free” passes. The folks at Frontier Airlines can help you put together your perfect ski

More Deals for The Economically Challenged. Hotel Discounts that make sense..

With another horrible day on Wall Street, the sense of gloom and doom is yet again heightened. Optimism must overcome. I'm not saying that we should all go forward and pretend that life is a bushel of roses, but living, breathing and trying to enjoy life the best we can must be an edict. As such I will continue to scour the world for great deals. 

One such deal I think is just incredible is being offered by the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.  The Atlantis has a great deal for $299 per person package for three nights. This is just fantastic. A deal like this to a property like this is almost unheard of and may not come about again. If you can find the time, and a teammate to join this is a great option.

If you're looking to find a great vacation idea that you can include the entire family several deals being offered for European destinations are available. One such deal I found offers a complete European Family Vacation Package that is definitely worth checking out. 

We will continue to come to you with new and innovative hotel and vacation packages that offer great discounts. Don't let these times get you down. Continue to enjoy life. 

Discount Travel Deals for October 10th..

With all the fuss and huff going on about the economic downturn people are really tightening their belt. The only issue is in this day and age, and a friend of mine has to be given credit for this statement, people really just want to be happy. There was a time and place, say back in the 1930's when the Great Depression hit, where a sense of acceptance to not being able to control one's environment was a mainstay in peoples personalities. Today, that just isn't the case. 

Today one of the biggest declines and downturns in almost a century has shaken the United States economy down to it's core, but still people go to dinner, go to shows and go on vacation. It's just that now most are taking a different approach to evaluating their options. I present to you all for your consideration discounts through renting vacation properties.  And here are a few to whet your whistle from various areas.

West Hollywood and Beverly Hills for the Christmas Holidays.

Once again, due to economic reasons, misfortune can turn into fortune and a coincidence of wants for both parties. This great property, checking out the link above, is available during that week. Properties from 3 to 5 bedrooms are available and prices are in the range of $1100 to $1500 a night. Sure a little pricey, but this is an upscale area. Contacting the owners may give you some leverage. I'd check them out.
