Summer is just around the corner. Prices for flights, hotels, cruises, and travel have already bottomed out for the first half the year and are (slowly) inching higher and higher. Now is the time to buy if you want to hit the road this summer without paying premium prices.
Below, we’ve compiled some of the best deals right now. These are the cheapest flights, best hotel rates, and steepest travel package discounts out there today.
TOP THREE DEALS OF THE WEEK:
$11 FLIGHTS AROUND EUROPE WITH RYANAIR
Flights to Europe have never been cheaper. Likewise, flights around Europe cost less than a couple of trips to Starbucks or a single trip to the movies.
Ryanair offers tickets for as low as $11.99 to destinations all over the continent. If you take a little extra time to shop fares (and plan ahead), you can score tickets for as little as $4-$5 each way. You just can’t beat those prices.
$290 ROUNDTRIP FLIGHTS TO COPENHAGEN THIS WINTER
Sometimes it pays to plan ahead as far as possible when you’re looking to save cash on travel. Case in point, flights from New York to Copenhagen, Denmark are only $290 roundtrip in November. That’s not on a budget airline so seats, carry-on bags, and food are included in that price.

CELEBRATE JANE GOODALL WITH G ADVENTURES
To celebrate Jane Goodall’s birthday and the amazing work she’s done in wildlife research and preservation, G Adventures has teamed with the Jane Goodall Institute to help you travel. G Adventures has compiled 20 animal-focused trips around the world into a single collection.
Each trip focuses on adventure and animal preservation with part of the tour fee going to support the Jane Goodall Institute. You can also receive up to 25 percent off some of the trips, with others clocking in with ten to 20 percent discounts.
BEST FLIGHTS OF THE WEEK:
$96 ROUNDTRIP FLIGHTS FROM ATLANTA TO HOUSTON
Summer travel is still affordable if you can book now. Flights from Atlanta to Houston (and vice versa) are less than $100. If you’re looking to take a late summer trip, this is a great option.
$236 ROUNDTRIP FLIGHTS FROM LA TO NEW YORK (and vice versa) ON JETBLUE
Getting across the country (and back) for less than $250 is a great deal. Roundtrip prices from NYC to LAX (and reverse) are only $236 on JetBlue right now. That’s a steal for a cross-country journey.
$194 ROUNDTRIP FLIGHTS FROM LAX TO LOS CABOS, MEXICO
Escaping to Mexico for a little r’n’r is always a great choice. Currently, you can score roundtrip tickets from Los Angeles to Los Cabos for only $194. You’ll have to travel in September to take advantage of this one.
$159 ONE-WAY FLIGHTS TO ROME ON NORWEGIAN
Norwegian is one of the best options for flying across the pond. Currently, they’re running sales on trips from the U.S. to Rome. You can snag one-way tickets for $159 from the East Coast and one-way tickets for $189-$209 from the West Coast.
$428 ROUNDTRIP FLIGHT FROM NEW YORK TO GUANGZHOU, CHINA
Another great fall deal is already popping. Roundtrip flights from New York to Guangzhou are only $428. That’s easily half the price of the average fare. If you’ve been dreaming of seeing southern China, now’s your chance.
$20 ONE-WAY FLIGHTS AROUND AMERICA ON FRONTIER
Looking to see a new corner of America? Frontier is the way to do it. They’re currently offering $20 one-way fares to destinations all over the country. Keep in mind that these fares only cover a reservation. Carry-on bags cost another $35 each. So look at this as a $55 one-way ticket.
BEST TOUR AND PACKAGE DEALS OF THE WEEK:
CELEBRATE OYSTER MONTH AT ALDERBROOK RESORT AND SPA, WASHINGTON
Alderbrook Resort & Spa on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula is the perfect mix of nature and luxury at an accessible price point. This spring, they’re offering a special package built around their annual Oyster Month.

SAVE 30% OFF U RIVER CRUISES THIS YEAR
