PROMOTIONS

Fall is a great time to travel Fall is a great time to find a last-minute travel deal. Many families are reluctant to travel with their children having just started school, so people who are single and couples who don't have school-aged children can find plenty of airline tickets specials and more when looking to get away this fall. One factor that is causing prices to fall across the board is the Swine Flu virus. Many people are worried about taking trips - especially in enclosed situations like cruises - to foreign destinations. But with the availability of flu shots and the overall high level of hygiene on most cruise ships, passengers should feel good about going on a cruise. In fact, now might be the best time in years to find discounted cruise vacations. It's also easy to find an airline travel deal to locations in the U.S. and worldwide. Carriers such as Southwest and Jet Blue have engaged in a price war, cutting their already budget prices by 50 percent or more along some routes. This includes many of the most popular fall tourist destinations, whether it's traveling to Boston or New Hampshire to see the turning of the leaves or to California for a last chance to soak up some rays before the winter. One of the most popular locations to travel in the fall is Hawaii, since its year-round good weather and stunning scenery can be a relief for travelers looking to escape the onset of rain, snow and gloom. Vacation package specials to Hawaii have never been cheaper, as hotels are looking to fill record-low vacancy levels and airlines are trying to fill their flights. For example, luxury villas at some of the leading resorts in Maui are available for as low as $179 per night with just a three-night minimum stay. The current economic situation also affords new opportunities for travelers. Many people are renting out their second houses as vacation homes as a way to earn additional money. This can mean big savings over hotel fares, plus the ability to save money by cooking instead of eating out every meal.
