Prices on the rise

After a waste of a couple hours, I can honestly say this is a lousy week to book a bargain vacation. There just aren't any eye-opening ones popping up no matter how hard I look.

And even a quick search of last week's bargains reveal price increases.  For example, the 5 star resort in Freeport, Bahamas has increased $190 per person on the EXACT vacation.

What's the reason for this? There are a few things it could be.

1. Supply and demand pricing. With cold weather across the country, more people are looking to getaway

2. Major airlines are offering big sales on TV and their "sales" aren't often the best bargains.

3. Canadian dollar has dipped. Perhaps the airline has increased price to reflect cost of goods/services.

So, if you haven't booked a February getaway yet, I'd suggest you give it a week. See what surfaces next Tuesday when prices are likely to fluctuate again.
