Now’s the time to book a getaway  …

Seems like every time I check my inbox or open the newspaper, there’s more news of airfare sales and hotels discounts. Just today, the business section of my local paper reported that airlines have slashed ticket prices to their lowest levels in years.

The article quoted one of my Favorite Links, Rick Seaney of FareCompare.com: “The prices that they’re offering right now are meant to get people off their couches and onto their computers.”

And with occupancy rates plummeting, hotels are offering great deals too. In addition to lower room rates, you’ll find they are offering valuable “extras” like food and drink credits, free breakfast, free internet, and lots of “third night free” deals.

Looks like many of these discounted fares and rates are extending into spring and summer — so if you can possibly manage a getaway, now’s the time to go hunting for deals!

Here’s hoping you can Go … Have Fun!
