For the Best Travel Discount Opportunities, Be Alert and Flexible

Airfares, hotel rates, tour prices and other types of travel discounts all tend to change frequently and without much notice.

Last-minute travel discount deals can save you hundreds, or even thousands of dollars over regular rates if you’re flexible and adventurous enough to take advantage of them.

Besides shopping for travel discounts by telephone and on the Web when you’re planning a trip, be alert to travel opportunities and travel discounts that may pop up when you least expect them.

One way to find travel discounts is to sign up for email newsletters that highlight some of the best travel discounts currently available. Most travel providers -- from individual airlines and cruise lines to online travel sites such as Orbitz.com and travel aggregators such as Travelzoo.com now offer newsletters, so ask their representatives or check their Web sites.
