Weekend Specials

Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.

Here are five essential tips for finding and booking great weekend specials. 1. Check airline web sites like Continantal, American, Delta and Nortwestern for last minute weekend specials and packages. Airlines post flight and package deals every week in an attempt to sell their empty seats. That's when looking for last minute travel deals can really pay off.

2. If you have a favorite hotel or resort you want to visit, chek their Twitter page for some of the best last minute weekend specials out there.

3. Use tools like Kayak and Farecompare to compare airline ticket prices, hotel room rates and car rental rates.

4. Try Priceline for deeply discounted hotel and airline rates, often at four and five start hotels and resorts.

5. Call the hotel directly and ask them if they are offering any weekend specials or packages which include additional perks such as spa treatments, golf, valet parking and other benefits. Visit our weekend specials and packages page for a list of weeked getaway deals.
