Question by sky_kats: What are the best sites to track great transatlantic flight deals from USA to UK?
My friends and I are planning to visit Edinburgh in September. Right now we are about to book our lodging and wait to buy airfare until later (when its hopefully cheaper). I am a member of several email lists that give notification of travel deals but they are mainly US based carriers.
I need sites that have low cost tickets from the US, preferrably CLT airport, to EDI. I don’t mind flying to another airport in the UK, if the combined transportation costs are cheaper than a connecting flight to EDI (example, flying into Glasgow or London and taking a cheaper flight or public transport to Edinburgh).
Lastly, with charges and fees, right now flights are about $ 1000 USD or 500£. We are looking for lower if possible. In January, British Air was offering $ 250 flights each way and something like that would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Answer by Mr. T’s Pretty Cuzzin
You probably won’t find $ 250 each way on CLT-EDI in September. Winter transatlantic airfares are cheapest; summer most expensive. This should help: http://www.farecompare.com/fare-search/year.html?destination=EDI&s=r&t=r&departure=CLT&type=homepage2 .. it rates airfares so you know what’s historically a good fare on a route, so you can be ready to purchase when the price drops at or near that level again. http://www.bookingbuddy.com is also good.

Question by Dianaramaa: When is the best time to book hotels for New York during Christmas time?
I’m trying to find good deals for New York (Midtown Manhattan Hotels) for the first week of December and I was wondering when the best time to buy was? I know rates start to sky rocket but do certain hotels have deals or anything? All in all should I just book months ahead or wait about a month or two before for deals or such and book then?

Book it now to guarantee a vacancy in the hotel you want near the holiday tree.
Hotels have seasonal rates so it will be more expensive the closer it gets.
By checking earlier, you can see which hotels has the best rate and amenities.
Only do this if you are guaranteed to come to NY to avoid cancellation fees.
Hotels packages will have a good deal but be sure to read the fine print.
Often you will have to use a certain airline, hotel rewards or credit card.
Good luck.

Wait for SIA to announce their promotions. Promotional price is abt $ 348 (min 2 to travel). With added tax will be abt $ 440 or so. Great deal. But that’s only for airtix. The period u’re travelling is a peak season (Xmas season), so hotels may cost higher. Don’t go through agents cos they can never beat the air tix price that SIA offers.
Good Luck!

You’ll probably want to stay closer to one spot rather than in the middle, will cut down on your travel time.
There are several places right outside of Sea World — in fact, the Good Nite Inn Sea World is having a “10% off when you stay 2 nights” special for the dates you’re looking to stay – $ 65.70/nite for 1 bed, $ 72.90/nite for 2 beds/
Anywho, head to http://www.resideo.com/us/california/sandiego/ and click the “Check Availability” button. Choose your dates, submit the form, then choose Sea World or the Zoo from the distance dropdown, that’ll sort the results putting the closest places first (and will show you how many miles away each place is from whatever place you choose).
Hope that helps!

I went to Maui on my own for the first week. Stayed in Kihei and then when my best friend got there the next week we stayed in Lahiana. Its a very mellow island less busy..Its just beautiful. The whales are usually in between the islands and you can see them from the shore. I Loved it..almost never came home.

Question by Maple: What’s the best bang for our buck for December/January travel?
We have been gifted a wedding present of a late honeymoon by my husband’s aunt who owns a timeshare. We can pick wherever we want, domestic, international, you name it, but we’re going to have to pay for airfare and food once we get there. What are the best deals for last week of December flights and where will we not get completely gouged by food and travel costs?
Thanks!
