Compare Prices Easily

Cheap Tickets can help you to find the cheapest airfare, car rental prices, best prices for hotels, cruise comparisons, event tickets and more. I have been using this site for many years. It is easy to use and finds your search info quickly.

Some of my favorite features are found under the “Hotels Category”. You can search by hotel deals with free nights, hotel deals with extra savings, hotels under $100 and the “Cheap of the Week” .

There are no booking fees for airline tickets. However the price quotes do not include those annoying baggage fees that vary by carrier, so factor that in before making your final decision.

Here are the airlines that were included in the search on CheapTickets: United, American, Delta, Continental, NorthWest, US Airways, Jet Blue, Virgin America, Air Canada, Alaska and Virgin America.

Here is the link to view prices on CheapTickets.

Student travel agency, discounts for under age 26:

If you are a college student looking for a discounted flight for domestic or international travel, or a one-way ticket home for the summer, STAtravel may be able to save you money. They are the world’s largest discount travel agency for students and teachers. You can book one-way flights, student airfare discounts, international student travel, youth hostels and rail passes all over the world.

If you are a full-time college student, a youth under age 26 or a teacher, you qualify for the student discount rates. The site is easy to navigate and their customer service gets great reviews.

Save Money Renting a Vacation Home

Here are the most popular sites for vacation rentals : VRBO (stands for Vacation Rental By Owner), Homeaway.com, and Flipkey.com. VRBO and Homeaway offer photos and an availability calendar. FlipKey is a TripAdvisor Company.

The sites can help you to find a place to rent or list your vacation home for rent. There are private homes, condos, mountain homes and beach rentals listed in the United States and worldwide. Some vacation home rentals can even accomodate large groups for family reunions.

Last Minute Bargains

Here is a site to check out for last minute deals on trips for next weekend or the one after. The site is called Last Minute.com. I found the site very easy to navigate. They advertise up to 70% off on last minute travel deals. You can search for deals on LastMinute.com by location, dates, budget, and the type of experience wanted like “pamper” or “thrill seekers.”

You can also search for concert and show tickets, restaurant reservations and tours and attractions. It’s a one-stop shop for deals for the last minute traveler. All sales are final. This is their link below:
