Cyber Monday Travel Deals 2015

 

Cyber Monday Travel Deals

Black Friday and Cyber Monday Travel Deals are becoming more prevalent every year. As long as you haven’t spent all your money on retail goods and know where to look for travel specials, you can set yourself up for a wonderful year of travel.

I challenge myself annually to avoid the gravitational pull of Black Friday’s super crazy electronic sales, 50%-off toys, and whatever else I convince myself that I “need” in anticipation of what I might find in the travel space or on Cyber Monday. This year I’ve seen specials from LAN airlines for travel to South America, Hotels.com, Flighthub.com, Expedia, and more.

Advice for Cyber Monday travel deals

Here’s my best advice for narrowing down where to look for travel deals:

  1. Don’t be impulsive. Work from a travel wish list that I hope you’ve been keeping either on a vision board, or in a journal or in a planner.
  2. Google the destination(s) where you’d like to travel with the term “Cyber Monday Travel Deals” at the end to see what comes up. So for example: “London Cyber Monday Travel Deals.”
  3. Choose a hotel where you’d like to stay on your trip (preferably one where you get rewards points) and head to their website. They might offer lower prices on the proprietary sites than on aggregator sites like Expedia or Orbitz.
  4. Check the websites of tour companies like Viator.com, G Adventures, or Abercrombie and Kent for special Cyber Monday offers.

These sites may have deals, they may not – you never know what you’ll find. The point is that you have to do a little preliminary research.

Save on hotels, events, and flights

Chicago PR firm Allison & Partners, sent me the following information about CheapTickets.com Cyber sale which started on November 23rd and runs until November 30th:

  1. Use promotion code ‘RIBBON’ to save 20 percent on qualifying hotel stays. Now through November 30, travelers can save at least 20 percent off qualifying hotel stays, with three chances to snag door buster hotel deals of up to 25 percent off. Hotel deals are good for travel through March 2016 including no blackout dates during Christmas and New Year’s.
  2. Get 10 percent off all event tickets site wide with promotion code‘HOLIDAY10’. CheapTickets.com is giving customers 10 percent off all event tickets including upcoming popular events like college bowl games, the Christmas Spectacular in New York City and shows like Wicked and The Lion King.
  3. Automatically get up to $20 back in CheapCash with any flight purchase of $100 or more. CheapTickets.com is also offering customers who purchase any flight of $100 or more through Nov. 30 up to $20 in CheapCash, the currency of CheapTickets.com.The CheapCash currency can be redeemed against stays in tens of thousands of participating hotels in destinations around the world. CheapCash can be used immediately after booking, or within 30 days, but members have one year from the date of booking to complete travel.

Cyber Monday, November 30

For the last chance to grab a door buster deal, the first 200 customers to use promotion code ‘SHIMMER’ to book a participating hotel stay will get 22 percent off.

Be prepared to act

The most important factor to keep in mind is that travel deals are like flash specials – you have to be quick to the draw and ready to fire. Millions of travelers wait for these deals every year and inventory is often very low.

Lastly, you can save money on travel all year long by not only knowing how and where to look for discounts but also by understanding the best time and ways to travel.

Cyber Monday Travel Deals Around The Web – Catch Them While You Can

While some people ran out in droves to catch Black Friday deals on electronics and toys, travelers waited patiently for Cyber Monday travel deals that they knew would also come. If you’ve had your eye on a particular hotel, cruise, or destination, today is the perfect day to capitalize on deep travel deals that don’t come around as often as we’d like. So, whether you’ve been planning to shop today or can buy spontaneously, here are some of the best Cyber Monday Travel Deals we’ve found around the web.

Cyber Monday Travel Deals
Kimpton Hotel DC

Sandals Resorts Cyber Sale

These all-inclusive vacations are at some of the most luxurious resorts in the Caribbean and at rates 65% off the normal price, less people should feel excluded from this tropical piece of luxury. You can chat with a vacation specialist online who’s more than ready to assist you with the perfect Cyber Monday travel deal to fit your pocket book. The site even has a countdown to tell you how much time you have left to take advantage of the sale. Cool!

Omni Hotels & Resorts $99 Cyber Monday Specials

Omni is offering travelers a $99 “Click Quick” rate for rooms booked at destinations across the U.S. for stays through January 31, 2013. Unfortunately the Omni Berkshire is excluded from this particular special but you can take advantage of other specials available for the hotel.

Visit Florida & Southwest

While I don’t think this deal ends today, it’s still a nice one to know about if you have Florida in your future travel plans. It’s so rare to get dollar$ off on a plane ticket but Visit Florida and Southwest Airlines have teamed up to offer visitors a $25 coupon on a roundtrip Wanna Get Away fare to the sunny state. You have to submit your email for the discount but hey, when you’re trying to save a buck (or 25), sharing your email is a small sacrifice. Be aware that restrictions apply.

Expedia ASAP Cyber Monday Travel Deals

Expedia is also offering its own share of travel specials with up to 50% discounts on deluxe hotels and resorts. The two featured destinations are in Playa del Carmen, Mexico and Las Vegas, NV, both good for travel from now until March 2013.  At the time of my research, there were only two rooms left at the Mexico all-inclusive resort for the 55% off $199 a night room rate. I’m pretty sure that the room will be sold out before the day is through (and maybe even before I press “Publish”).

You can also find Cyber Monday Travel deals from others like:

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants – 30% off (prepaid, non-refundable) for stays from Thurs-Sun, now through December 30, 2012.

Gaylord National Resort and Gaylord Opryland are also both offering Cyber Monday rates for stays at their resorts. The Gaylord National is boasting that these are their lowest rates of the season for select dates, starting from $125 a night. Be mindful that they too have specific days when you can stay at the hotel with these rates, Sundays through Thursdays.

Looking to take a cruise? One of my favorite cruise lines (and the one where I got married), Princess Cruises, is having a sale on over 200 cruises for Alaska, Hawaii, Caribbean, and Panama Canal sailings. If you book today, you’ll also receive up to a $100 onboard stateroom credit. The cruise that’s jumping out and screaming my name is the 14-day Hawaiian Isles cruise. Hmm…that’s a lot of pineapple.

What Cyber Monday travel deals are jumping out at you? Ever purchased one before or planned your vacation spending spree around sales this time of year? Do share. For me, personally, when it comes to cruises, this is the time of the year that I usually pick up amazing deals for a Spring sailing. And some of these other travel deals look just as nice.
