July 2009 Top Travel Deals

G’day {{user(’firstname’)}}

Where are the travel bargains now, you ask?

As we’re now midway through one of the busier travel seasons of the year, we can look back a few months and see that – as predicted – those mind-bogglingly low prices on everything from flights to hotel rooms to cruises were way more plentiful back then. Prices have crept up again in the last month or so, and although most people think they’ll dip again in another couple of months, we may have seen the last of the kinds of fares that literally made jaws drop.

Having said that, there are still places you can go that are insanely cheap at the moment – and we’re not talking about out-of-the-way spots with no tourist infrastructure or appeal. In fact, for a variety of reasons, you can find excellent deals on trips to places like Mexico, Las Vegas, Miami, and the Caribbean right now. So if you’re in need of a sun-soaked vacation, want to hang out on a beach, or are going for some kind of all-you-can-eat buffet record, you’ve got lots of options that won’t cost you a fortune.

But not all the cheap travel destinations are in the northern hemisphere. Y’know how off-season travel typically offers up great deals? Well, it’s winter in Australia right now, and there are deals a-plenty to prove it. Not in the mood for winter travel? Never fear – northern Australia is still warm, even in winter. So head for the adventure playground of Queensland and you’ll get a warm weather trip at wintertime prices.

Wherever you end up, we hope you have a great trip!

Featured Travel Deals

Australia

Australia Vacation Packages

It may be winter in Australia right now, but that just means the deals on vacation packages are crazy good. Plus, since so much of the country is warm year-round, now is a great time to go.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas Show Tickets

Vegas isn’t all about gambling, buffets, and bottomless drinks. No, really. Get some Vegas show tickets now, before you hit The Strip and blow all your vacation money on the slots.

Amsterdam

Amsterdam Travel Deals

Even in summer, European travel doesn’t have to break the bank. Amsterdam is just one of the places where you can sometimes still find great deals.

Paris

Paris Travel Deals

Summer trips to Paris might cost more than winter trips, but the cheaper off-season is coming earlier this year (you can get mid-September at November prices).

Europe

Cheap Tickets to Europe

Though fares to Europe are higher now than they were a few months ago, they’re still cheaper than they’ve been in summers past.

Cruises

Cruise Deals

Some cruise industry experts are saying cruise prices have bottomed out and will start going up soon, so now’s the time to lock in a great deal on a cruise.

Last Minute Cruises

Last Minute Cruise Deals

And if you can’t plan too far in advance, you can still score a deal on a last minute cruise vacation.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas Vacation Packages

Vegas is one of those places that’s astoundingly cheap at the moment, and getting a package deal that includes your airplane ticket and hotel (and sometimes other stuff, like a rental car) can save you even more.

Italy

Italy Travel Deals

Italy’s tourism numbers are way down this year, so they’re anxious to have people come visit – so anxious that they’re offering amazing deals, even in summer.

Sydney

Cheap Airfare to Sydney

Just because it’s not in northern Australia (where you can vacation in warm weather even during winter) doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of reasons to grab a great fare to the fabulous city of Sydney.
