Travel Deals

Here is a list of resources that I have found for travel deals.

1) Priceline/Hotwire Resources: Biddingfortravel.com and BetterBidding.com

This is a great resource for finding out the list of winning Priceline bids. You can find some really great deals on hotels — I use this a lot if I don’t mind which hotel to stay at. You will need to do some research before bidding to make sure you don’t overbid. Priceline is best used 1-2 weeks before the arrival date since hotels usually offload excess inventory then.

2) Hotels/Airfare: Travelzoo

Sometimes, you can find some excellent deals on airplane flights and last minute vacations.

3) Airfare: Kayak

This is a good site to check to see if airfare deals are available. They have a calendar that allows you to see what dates have the lowest airfare.

4) Airfare: Farecast

This is another resource for finding deals on airfare. It “predicts” when to purchase airfare, I use it for the trending graph to see when there are deals. They have a useful e-mail notification tool where you set a target price and they give you the best price for the flight that day. For instance, I’ve setup a notification that lets me know when the LAX to HNL flight is $419 RT. This includes all taxes/fees.

If you travel a lot, I recommend getting joining an airline frequent flyer program or even a credit card. Hawaiian Airlines is a very good program if you want to earn island hopping flights. Two roundtrips from mainland can earn you an interisland flight, which is nice.
