Daily travel deal – JetBlue one day fare sale with flights from $29

by Scott Carmichael on

Our daily travel deal for today is for a hot one-day sale on JetBlue.

Starting at just $29 (each way), you’ll find flights to and from most JetBlue cities.

The fine print is actually quite simple on this deal – you must purchase the ticket today, but it can be for flights up till June 10th 2009. Travel is only valid on Tuesday and Wednesday and you have a 7 day advance purchase window.

Not all the city pairs are exciting (unless Boston to Buffalo is high on your list), but for just $39 each way, you can fly from Ft. Lauderdale to Nassau or $79 from New York to Puerto Rico.

You’ll find the entire list of cities on sale here, which is where you’ll find the exact requirements.

Daily travel deal – all inclusive Caribbean resorts starting at $112

by Scott Carmichael on

Unless you live on the west coast, you are probably still stuck in rain and mid 40’s weather.

So, what better way to escape it all than heading to the Caribbean for a bit of all inclusive R&R?

Starting at just $112, you’ll find yourself in one of the 16 resorts on sale. And when these places say “all inclusive”, they really mean it.

Once you are checked in, you’ll get free food, free drinks (including alcohol), free entertainment for yourself and the kids, and most resorts even include free towels, hammocks, parasols and a well stocked in-room minibar.

The list of destinations can be found here, which is where you’ll also find the prices for accommodations and airfare. With 4 nights and your flight (from Florida) starting at just $520, this really is a nice all inclusive bargain.

As always with travel deals, these prices are only available on certain dates and are based on double occupancy. Most hotels will charge an additional resort fee other service charges.

Daily Travel Deal – Las Vegas MGM Grand getting close to paying you to stay

by Scott Carmichael on

This was bound to happen sooner or later – Hotels in Las Vegas are so desperate happy to have you come and stay with them, that the deals are better than ever.

Short of being comped, this deal at the MGM Grand is one of the hottest out there at the moment.

Starting at $48, you get a night at the hotel, $35 in dining and activity credits, a 2 for 1 spa pass, 2 VIP passes to Studio 54 or Tabú and $25 in free slot play.

If a standard room isn’t good enough, you can drop an extra $25 for a bungalow suite, or $30 for a celebrity spa suite (700 sq ft).

Seriously, this is indeed getting close to having the hotel pay you to come and stay with them. Of course, the hotel would prefer if you left them some extra cash on the gaming tables or at one of their other amenities

The fine print is simple – you can stay at this promotional rate between April 22nd 2009 and December 29th 2009, but you need to book before April 30th 2009. The $48 rate is only available on certain dates, but a quick peek at the availability calendar shows that most of the summer months have that rate. Some dates are very high, but on average, it won’t be hard to snag yourself a really good deal.

Daily Travel Deal – Royal Caribbean Cruises starting at just $229 + bonus credit

by Scott Carmichael on

Royal Caribbean is currently offering a huge variety of very nicely priced cruise packages, starting at just $229.

That low price actually gets you a 3 night/4 day cruise from Miami to the Bahamas (and back).

To make the deal even better, they’ll also throw in a $25 on-board credit on select dates, making the final price just a couple of bucks over $200.

That $200 includes all your meals, entertainment, pool access, rock climbing, 9 bars, a casino, movie theater and a fitness center/spa. That means you get an all inclusive vacation for just $68 a night!

If you have a little more time (or money), you’ll find a nice lineup of other cruises including 10 nights in Alaska for $1049 (with a $200 on-board credit) or even a 12 night transatlantic cruise from London, via France, Ireland, Iceland and Canada to Boston for $1099.

Of course, these prices are all based on an inside room, but in my experience, if you plan your ship time well, you’ll only be using the room for sleeping. Upgrades to an oceanview room start at just $50. As with most travel deals, availability will be limited, and not all dates will be available for the lowest price.
