Where to Find Travel Coupons

By

Traveling is always a nice and enriching experience. And with all the great deals offered by airlines, cruise lines, restaurants as well as hotels and resorts to people today, there is every opportunity to be able to visit a new place you’ve only dreamed to reach in the past.

But as always, it pays to do your homework as not every deal is what it says it is. Oftentimes, you will have to read carefully and understand the fine print or you’ll end up paying more when you get to your destination.


Being fully aware of what’s happening among the most popular coupon sites is very important. A number of these social coupon sites that have been established in recent years include Groupon, LivingSocial, Daily Candy and Eversave. Some sites, however, have been widely criticized after failing to deliver what it offered to consumers. Many travelers complained about getting fake deals and being swindled of their hard-earned money.

A standard step that you need to take is to register on coupon sites such as the CheapSally.com coupons. It would be best to sign up for deals offered at your destination. Find out some fun activities (tours, rentals, etc.) that you can do there and if possible, sign up several weeks before your trip to get the best deals.

Be wary of the expiration and blackout dates. Most of these coupons have an expiration date while some special rates are not allowed on certain dates so better check that out ahead of time.

Go On A Cruise ALONE!

By

I wrote something about going as a solo traveler some time back, and I think it’s time to tackle this topic again. This is because I just found out something about cruise lines offering more solo travel deals these days. I have always wanted to go on a cruise but they’re just way too expensive for me. If this trend of lower prices for solos on cruises goes any further, then I just might find myself going on a cruise one of these days!

This is what I found out from Reuters:

“The tour industry is making way for the single traveler,” said Margie Jordan, spokesperson for the American Society of Travel Agents. “This is nothing that’s going to go away. The single traveler is going to have as many opportunities as anyone else.”

For years most travel deals were based on two people traveling together.

“Single travelers would see a price on line and we’ve had to break the news that if you’re going by yourself, it’s 150 to 200 percent more,” said Jordan, CEO of ASAP Travel. “They were left high and dry.”

But times are changing and Jordan said cruise lines in particular are stepping up. MSC Cruises is currently offering trips that waive the dreaded single supplement, which accounts for the price hike.

Norwegian Cruise Lines is one of the pioneers of this movement. While not every cruise line in the world is offering similar packages, I think that it is just a matter of time when other major lines will see the wisdom in doing so. Can’t wait!
