Looking to just get away for a spell? Secret Flying has your back. This week’s deals include a crazy cheap roundtrip from Denver to Columbia for $285. That’s so cheap it’s almost crazier not to go.
Roundtrip flights from L.A. all the way to the Guinness and Jameson springs of Dublin are only $433. Lastly, flights from Seattle to a tropical paradise in Hawaii are just $369 roundtrip right now.
LAST MINUTE CHEAP FLIGHTS TO EUROPE WITH WOWAIR
Wowair is often the best and cheapest way to get to Iceland and Europe. It’s a budget airline that’s also comfortable and that gives them the edge these days. Flights to various cities all over mainland Europe are running between $159 and $199 each way for flights this month. Prices tend to peak in August and, then, they start to lower again when September rolls around.
CHEAP FLIGHTS TO AND AROUND ASIA ON FLY SCOOT
If you’re looking to finally start exploring the Far East, then Fly Scoot is going to be your ace in the hole. You can score super cheap flights to Singapore from Honolulu. Then, once you’re on the ground, you can score even cheaper flights all over the region.
Fly Scoot could also be the airline you use to finally circumnavigate the globe. You could, for instance, fly to Europe on Wowair for a couple hundred bucks and then take a Fly Scoot to Singapore, Osaka, and Hawaii. And, then, fly back from Hawaii on Southwest or Jet Blue. And, BAM, you’ve been around the globe! Maybe take Kyrie Irving with you.
$5 RYANAIR FLIGHTS AROUND EUROPE
RyanAir is the only way to get around Europe these days without breaking the bank. You can score a ticket for as little as $5 on some routes. You can’t drive, train, or even walk for that cheap.
Check out RyanAir’s Fare Finder. Enter a city and see what’s on sale. Then go.
50% OFF CAR RENTALS IN EUROPE
RyanAir also has great deals on hotels, package vacations, and cars. That last one is often their best deals. Look, you can easily get around Europe on high-speed trains and with crazy cheap budget flights (see above). But, road tripping around Europe is also a blast. Plus, if you’re traveling with your crew, four train tickets is always going to cost more than renting and fueling a car.
Right now, RyanAir is offering 50 percent off car rental rates with major companies across the board. This is a summer only deal, so you’ll have to act fast.

HOTEL OF THE WEEK: CONDADO VANDERBILT HOTEL, SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
https://www.instagram.com/p/BkvZJAEjvXr/
Puerto Rico’s recovery very much depends on tourists coming back to the island after last year’s hurricane. The island is pretty much back to fully functional from a tourism point of view, yet the numbers have yet to recover. Now’s the time to go as the 2018 hurricane season starts. Prices are cheap and sales are on.
A baller option for exploring Puerto Rico and San Juan is the Condado Vanderbilt. It’s not cheap but you 100 percent get what you pay for. The bars are great. The in-house restaurant, 1919, will have you rethinking how amazing a hotel restaurant can be. The rooms are plush (of course). The hotel is very centrally located, making exploring Old San Juan simple and there’s a huge beach literally next door if you want to spend the day lounging and swimming. Right now, they’re offering 15%off rooms, 20% off food and drinks, and 20% off the (amazing) spa.
GO. Spend money in a corner of America that really needs your help.
