Tour & Explore with money-saving summer deals

Travel is fun; searching for travel deals, not so much. Nevertheless, knowing how and when to book a trip can make a huge difference in savings and benefits. For our first episode of Tour & Explore, we interview Jaime Freedman of Travelzoo.com to get her expert tips on how to maximize your travel dollar this summer. Here are a few highlights:

  • Now is a great time to save on a cruise. To help win back travelers this summer, the industry is offering such incentives as meals, entertainment and transfers to additional destinations.

  • Think about booking for shoulder season, which comes right after a peak travel period such as Labor Day. You can have all the fun of a place like Myrtle Beach without the high prices and big crowds.

  • Airfare booking is for Tuesday. Ideally, right after midnight Tuesday. This is when the newest deals tend to come out.
