I frequently recommend signing up for travel alert websites such as Travelzoo to save money on trips, and here’s just another reason why – holiday deals! sends out the “Top 20 Deals” to subscribers weekly, but when holidays or special events come around, I often find an email in my inbox with some great last minute travel deals. With everything from flights to hotels to wine tasting packages, the latest last minute deals do not disappoint!
Sometimes it can be difficult to discern if a deal really is as good as it sounds, but the Travelzoo list is mostly a compilation of deals directly from hotel websites (Marriott, Hyatt), or well-known companies such as Orbitz, Virgin Vacations, Fly.com, and more. Many of the deals are valid now through spring, or even summer, but some are for select dates. Always be sure to carefully examine the terms before purchasing!
What are you waiting for? There’s still time to make a great Valentine’s Day for you and your significant other (or even you and a few friends)! Grab one of these last minute deals before they’re gone!
I am a bargain hunter from way back. I can’t help it – I just know a good deal when I see one. The only thing better than running across a good deal is having good deals delivered right to your door…or in my case, my Facebook and Twitter feeds. If you aren’t taking advantage of...
