At that price we had to go! to ..... Hawaiiiiiiiiiii!

March 27th, 2009 at 10:31 pm

A roundtrip flight to Hawaii from NYC (that is a long flight) for $417 plus tax = $459 pp total

The $400 certificate DH got for volunteering off the over-booked flight was expiring in August.

so $918 - $400 = $518
5% cashback Discover gives this month for airline purchases -$25.9 = $492.1 for both roundtrip tickets.

That is $246.05 per person! So I booked it! We are going for a week in May.

I was not even planning on going anywhere, but with this deal I could not resist.

I am working on a deal for a nice hotel now. And from what I see there are some deals to be had right now.

We go away often and spontaneously - always with great deals. Being flexible with destination is the best money saving vacation tip - we just go where and when the great deal is offered (if we are interested in the destination, of course).

Between looking for hot deals and using travel reward programs, I think we pay a lot less than an average person for a lot of our trips. That is why we can go more often.

    That's great! My husband and I went while we were on the West Coast a few years ago, because we thought it would be *way* to expensive to try to fly there once we moved to the East Coast. What a deal -- you'll have an amazing time!

    I actually would go to Hawaii too if I could get such a deal. Big Grin It's kind of on my wish list if airline tix get low. We didn't pay very much last time we went (planned trip) so I got excited that maybe it wasn't as expensive as I thought. I haven't shopped around lately - probably good deals in this economy. Maybe I will peek at airfare after I get my overtime bonus.

    You definitely got a great deal on you air fare! After you find a hotel, call them directly to negotiate a better discount than what you get by just booking online. I have done this several times and it works. Enjoy your vacation.
