Travel Deal of the Day (April 29, 2009)

Watch for some absolutely amazing deals over the next few weeks because of multiple factors dramatically affecting travel demand, including the swine flu and the global recession. If you want to travel, now is your time. You should be able to find incredible deals, especially during the next few weeks before school lets out (with the possible exception of Memorial Day weekend). My primary suggestion would be to book a cancellable hotel reservation and/or cancellable car rental reservation if you are traveling within the next few weeks or even in the next few months. We are likely to see prices drop even further, and you want to make sure you are able to cancel your travel reservations and rebook using the best deals. Keep checking rates/fares as your trip approaches as I would anticipate that prices will continue to decline due to the overall low demand for travel.
