Summer is officially in full swing. We’re only a week out from the Fourth of July, which gives us about two solid months to hit the road and see some new corner of our state, country, and the planet.
In the past, summer travel was always the most expensive time of year to hit the road. These days, budget airlines are too competitive for pricing to get out of control. Great cheap flights and travel deals are always available — likewise with resorts, packaged holidays, and even hotels. Deals abound 24/7, 365 and now’s the time to save cash on every aspect of your adventure.
Below are some of the best summer deals on cheap flights and travel packages right now. These are the sites and Twitter feeds that you should be following and setting up alerts for. Prices will vary. Sales will pass quickly. You’ve gotta shop hard and act fast. Good luck out there and happy travels!
