Day Of: Shop Around…
But Not Too Much
Deals, deals, deals.
So many swimming around that itll be tough to tell a good one from a gimmick.
Not all deals are created equal.
Cross-reference prices of providers and resellers to get the best one.
But be careful not to stall too long.
Dont second-guess yourself because flight deals can go quickly.
Book the flight; figure out the logistics later, Cohen said.
Theyve even calculated the best time of day to book flights.
Deals will come and go by the hour and day.
Keep refreshing and updating your searches.
Consider flying out of farther-away airports; they may have bigger discounts on certain routes, Cohen said.
Or it may require you to travel before the busy summer travel season.
Dont let the excitement of a bargain make you skip the fine print.
Use acredit card with rewards, points, miles or cash-back perks on any travel purchases.
Put these perks toward a future vacation or on another a big purchase.
Squeeze as many benefits as possible out of every purchase.
Youll find these deals through travel booking websites, agents or discounted services likeGroupon Getaways.
This approach has the potential to save you hundreds of dollars on a trip.
Happy hunting for Cyber Monday travel deals.
