With a struggling US economy, we are already starting to see some amazing deals to both US destinations and sun destinations normally frequented by Americans. As credit card bills start to roll in from Christmas extravagance, airlines and tour operators will need to stimulate the market place with great deals and bonus offers. (Watch for some really good deals at the end of January)
If you’re interested in going to Las Vegas, flights (from Bellingham) start at under $100 USD roundtrip! Air & hotel packages start at only $369 USD per person for the Flamingo or from Vancouver, packages are $386 CAD per person for Monte Carlo. These are great deals; however, if you’re going to gamble at all, I recommend against booking a package. Your chances of getting comp’d (given a complimentary night based on how much you gamble) a free night are better than ever, as the casinos do their best to get you onto their resort and spending money.
Air Canada’s “Kids Fly Free”* offer also brings great deals for those who are looking to indulge in the magical world of Disney with kiddies in tow.
Mexico and the Caribbean are also offering some really great deals – if you can find a seat on a plane!
Check out these sample prices for air & all-inclusive hotel packages from Vancouver in January:
- $691 Varadero, Cuba (2*)
- $731 Cancun, Mexico (3*)
- $966 Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (3.5*)
- $1059 Honduras (4*)
- $1150 Jamaica (3.5*)
- $1653 Antigua (3*)
You get the picture…
If you’re just looking for a cheap flight across Canada, expect to see some great deals from Westjet as early as next week – they’re always fast out of the gate in January (remember last year’s 2008 special, offering flights for only $20.08 + tax?).
No matter where your travels are taking you in 2009, you can expect to pay less. That, or pay the same and stay somewhere nicer than you’d normally choose. Either way, the one thing Canadians still seem to be spending money on is travel, so book early to take advantage of specials.
