SAN ANTONIO — It is a fairly new deal day: Travel Tuesday. The pandemic dampened this shopping holiday previously, but it is expected to be back Tuesday and better than ever.
Many of us are ready to get away after staying close to home during the pandemic. Tuesday may be one of the best days to book a trip if you have been dreaming of a destination near or far and want a deal.
“Travel Deal Tuesday is the very best time to get a deal in the post-Thanksgiving time frame,” said Trae Bodge, a smart saving expert. “On top of that, they are offering exclusive deals in addition to regular, exciting travel deals. They’re offering $100 off to places like Venice, Santorini, the Maldives.”
“Generally, we see as much as 80 percent off in some cases, depending on what of booking you’re making,” said Julie Ramhold, a consumer analyst for Dealnews.com. “So maybe it’s hotel stays, maybe it’s a last-minute cruise because you need some warmer weather in the midst of the cold. You can find some really great deals on Travel Tuesday.”
Just make sure check the cancellation and refund policy on any trip purchases before you buy because travel restrictions are still likely be around at least some of next year because of the coronavirus.
