My personal list of travel bargain jackpots. All from the last 7 years.
5. We added 4 nights in Florida to a hockey trip to Minneapolis for $275 per person. So we drove to MSP, watched my son play hockey, left the car at the hotel, then got on a plane to Florida for 4 days/nights at at amazing Hyatt resort. Flew back to MSP and drove home. Would have been over $1000 per person if we'd flown from home.
4. Kids fly & stay free. A bargain found post-strike with Air Canada back in 2012. We took the kids to the Turks n Caicos Islands. Was under $$900 per person for a family of 4. Amazing value considering the regular price is about $6000 per family of 4 at a modest resort there.
3. Air Canada had Olympic specials in 2010 when Canada hosted the winter Olympics in Vancouver/Whistler. One such special landed me a $99 flight (& taxes) to the Bahamas. So I went for a 3 day weekend. That was awesome.
2. Found a First Class Delta flight to Maui at Christmas, for $495 tax included, roundtrip. Yes, First Class at Christmas. Amazing! So, even with hotel and food we spent about $3000 for 8 days in Maui over the busiest holiday time of the year for a family of 4. I think that was 2009.
1. $283 round trip flight from Minot to Nassau, on Delta. In transit, the airline offered us $600 per person (family of 4) in future travel credits to bump & catch the next flight out. Yes! Hell yes, we took that deal. So we then had 1 year to use the travel credits. We had 6 free flights to California out of those $2400 in credits in 2013/14. Unbeatable travel bargain luck!
