Question by Nick E: Me and my wife want to travel sometime during the week of Dec 13th, and return no later than Dec 19th.?
We live 200 miles south of Chicago, and are only requirement is we want to go somewhere warm and nice for December. We really don’t can’t we just want warm nice weather, and ocean view, so a resort or a cruise would work. Do you think we could get a better last minute deal, or book ahead? We don’t travel often so any advice appreciated. We do have passports, and looking at max a 4 night stay somewhere.
I should have added we don’t want to spend more then around $ 750 per person for the trip expenses. We plan on about another $ 700 set aside for stuff to do on the trip.
Somewhere like Hawaii is not reasonable for us, because the flight would be so long, and we only want to stay max 4 nights.

Question by Sarah: Cheap caribbean vacation for week before Christmas?
I’m trying to book a cheap Caribbean vacation for two (Bahamas, Virgin Islands, St. Martin, DR, or Cancun, or similar) for the week before Christmas. When I get on the websites, they advertise a price, but as soon as I enter my details (travel dates, etc.) the price quadruples. What am I doing wrong? I am willing to fly back on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day — I thought this would make it cheaper but perhaps I am wrong? What dates would make it come up as the advertised price? I can be flexible (leaving anywhere between December 16th and 20th, coming back anywhere between 20th and 25th). Which dates/destinations would give me the best deals? Also, any recommendations as to specific destinations? Or places to book other than the websites that I have had the above mentioned problems with? I just want it to be simple! Thanks 🙂
Well, when do you have to return by for it to be considered ‘before Christmas.’ ? I have tried the 23rd, 24th, and 25th, but prices are equally high on all 3 days

The prices always go up a lot during Christmas. Try getting airfare using American Air using flexible date search, then book your hotel separately. I got really cheap airfare through them to Jamaica for this New Years holiday. LAX to MoBay for $ 409, but I got the tickets about a month ago.
High season starts in December and continues for a few months. The most economical time to travel to the Carribean is during the months of June through August.
