Now’s the time to buy a cheap flight or book a steal on a hotel. We’re in the middle of the shoulder season, winter has set in, and prices are dirt cheap. If you want to book a getaway for Valentine’s Day or Spring Break, the time is now.
Flights throughout February, March, April, and into May are at all-time lows. This isn’t just budget fares to Europe either. Big name airlines have flights to Africa, Australia, and beyond for anywhere from $300 to $600 roundtrip. Those are prices on airlines where you can actually carry on a bag, check one, and maybe even get a meal with a drink or two. That, in turn, means, the budget airlines have slashed their prices as well. This is a win-win, yo.
Below are the best cheap flights, hotel discounts, and travel deals that will make you race to book something right now.
TOP DEALS OF THE WEEK:
$49 ONE-WAY FLIGHTS TO EUROPE WITH WOWAIR
This is not a drill. Right now, you can score one-way tickets to Europe from all over America for only $49. You’ll need to buy before January 18th and travel before March 11th. Also, be aware you’ll likely also need to spend another $80-$100 if you need to check a bag and want to eat Wowair’s food. Alternately, just carry on and bring your own lunch.
QANTAS NEW YEAR ADVENTURE SALE
Anytime you can snag a roundtrip ticket to Australia for less than $1,000, you have to jump on it. Qantas is currently running a sale that has flights from all over America for $620-$680 roundtrip. That’s on an airline where you can check a bag, get a meal (or two), and drink all that tasty Aussie wine.
You have until January 22nd to buy a ticket. This is your chance to go down under for way less.
PLAN A DOPE SPRING BREAK WITH 30% OFF VILLAS IN BARBADOS
With Spring Break rapidly approaching, it’s time to make some plans before prices spike. Our recommendation: Gather your crew and go in on a villa in paradise. Port Ferdinand Barbados is offering a 30 percent discount on their villas if you can book by February 15th and travel before April 30th. That one-third discount is enough to cover a cheap flight if you shop the deals.
BEST FLIGHTS OF THE WEEK:
SEATTLE TO HOUSTON (AND VICE VERSA) FOR ONLY $150 ROUNDTRIP
Prices on flights this spring are popping off. You can fly from Seattle to Houston or vice versa for only $150. Fair warning, this is a mix-and-match fare with Spirit and United so different bag rates may apply.
LAX TO TANZANIA FOR $580 ROUNDTRIP
Swiss is running a great sale on flights from the U.S. to Tanzania. For less than $600 roundtrip, you can hit up Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, and Zanzibar this March for one killer Spraaaaaaaang Breaaaaaaaaaaak.
PHILLY TO ZURICH FOR $380 ROUNDTRIP
Swiss is also offering great sales prices on trips to Switzerland. For less than $400 roundtrip, you can get all the Zurich this spring for all the Alpine good times you can handle. Keep in mind, this is on an airline that’ll give you a checked bag, free meals, and all the booze. That, in our opinion, sweetens the deal considerably.
SAN FRANCISCO TO COPENHAGEN FOR $390 ROUNDTRIP
Air CanadaAir Canada is running a great deal from American cities to select European destinations throughout spring. You can score a roundtrip from San Francisco to Copenhagen for just under $400 if you can book now. This is a great deal on a comfortable airline.
NORWEGIAN NEW YEAR SALE — $99 EACH WAY TO EUROPE
Norwegian is running a New Year Sale with one-way flights pinned at $99. That’s one-hundred bucks to get from America to Europe from now until summer sets in. Granted, you’ll need to spend another $30-$60 on bags and food each way. Still, that’s a great deal that’ll get you to Europe on the cheap.
2 MILLION SEATS ON SALE WITH AIRASIA
AirAsia’s 1.9 million seat sale is still in full swing. If you’re planning on bouncing around South, East, and Southeast Asia this year, this is you play to see more and pay less.

THE MARLBOROUGH LODGE, NEW ZEALAND
The Marlborough Lodge, perched on the north side of the South Island, is an escape that offers a perfect slice of a little self-care.

Right now, prices are at their peak. By April (until October) prices will drop NZ$2,200 ($1,500) and then will drop again another NZ$900 ($600) between May and September. If you’re willing to wait until our summer (their winter), you can save $2,100 for a vacation package to a bucket list locale.
