The Internet: The best sites for planning a trip
These sites will help you find the best travel deals.
Travelzoo.com finds the best “prices for airfares, resorts, vacation packages, and cruises” and delivers them to your in-box. Its top-20 “last-minute deals” are posted online every Wednesday and e-mailed to subscribers. Packages get snapped up quickly, so you have to be “quick at the trigger.”
Farecast.com helps travelers time when to take that trip—and even when to buy tickets. The site provides “historical lows and highs of airline tickets from 75 cities” so you can decide whether to book now or wait until prices drop. One recently added feature is a “hotel search tool for 30 cities.”
Johnnyjet.com is an easy-to-use “encyclopedia” that collates and organizes “hundreds of travel website links” covering everything from which vaccines you’ll need for Botswana to the best hotels near Denver International Airport.
