The time has come for me to introduce you guys to the best, last minute discount travel website out there; Travelzoo.com

Last Minute Deals Only

Beware however, this site is strictly for last minute deals and does not offer all the options that other, more traditional travel sites offer. Travelzoo is all about offering deals that are running out thus explaining why the prices are so cheap.

How Does It Work?

Travelzoo works on a weekly basis and users must sign-in to get updated each week with their amazing deals. It's really easy and so worth it! I have to admit that each week, when I get their updates, I rush to check them out.

The site offers a huge variety of destinations and durations. You can get deals anywhere from New York City to Argentina to the traditional all-inclusive. Careful, the prices shown however, do not include taxes and flights are sometimes only available from certain departure points.

It's Now or Never

I know that I often preach patience when it comes to finding your vacation deal but with Travelzoo, it isn't the case. Because only limited and few spaces are available, it's crucial that once you have found your dream vacation that you book it and quickly. It is most likely that it will no longer be available the next day.

I have yet to find better prices on last minute deals than what Travelzoo offers. Hey, even though you don't plan to leave for another couple months, the deals are still worth checking-out, who knows, maybe the deal is so good you'll want to book it and leave a little earlier than planned. That's what's great about shopping for vacation deals, if you're flexible with your dates, you can benefit from great, unexpected offers!

Here's a list of things to watch-out for when searching for vacations on Travelzoo:


  1. Prices do not include taxes. For every 1000$ calculate about 200$-250$ in taxes.


  2. Do not hesitate to buy. These deals are numbered and tend to run-out quickly so book right away.


  3. To benefit from Travelzoo deals you must become a member. Once you become a member, you'll receive a weekly update via your e-mail account.


  4. Careful! Make sure to check the duration of the offered vacation, some are only for a couple of days and others for a couple weeks.


  5. Some vacation packages are only available from certain cities and locations. Departures are sometimes only available from Toronto or Alberta while others only from Montreal. Just read the details to be certain.




Remember, these are for last minute deals and departures. Most deals have departures for the upcoming month. However, the site is a good reference point for what you should be paying for certain destinations so it's a good place to start comparing prices with other sites. Have fun and enjoy the zoo!
