The Get Away

Doesn’t matter if you’re taking a long trip someplace exotic or merely crossing your state border for a weekend getaway—the feeling of going somewhere is what it’s all about. As host to Disney World, Miami’s South Beach, and the Keys, Florida is a hot vacation spot all year round. If you’re looking to have fun in the sun, save 10% off your stay at the Beacon Hotel South Beach when you book in advance. If you’re a cold-weather person, the only downside to spring’s approach is the end of ski season! Gather up the family and hit the slopes one last time at Keystone in Denver, Colorado where kids ski free when you book through Southwest Airlines Vacations. Every now and then we all need a girls or guys only weekend getaway to blow off some steam! What better place to party till the sun comes up than the bright lights of the Las Vegas strip in Nevada? Use Expedia to book at the Las Vegas Palace Station Hotel & Casino for rooms starting from $25 per night. If you’re feeling flexible but want major savings, check out CheapOstay for their incredible up to 50% off plus $20 off a selection of all-inclusive resorts. With so many fantastic domestic and international locations, you can rest assured there will never be a lack of new places to discover!

Getting There

Now that you know where you want to go, you gotta get there! Let’s be honest, traveling can be a big pain in the butt with all the time and money needed to get to your fabulous destination. Well, we’ve got some deals that will make your transportation time-efficient and wallet-friendly. Planning a family road trip? No problem. Keep the kids safe and snug with enough space to themselves with a mid-size SUV at the special rate of $37.99 a day from Dollar Rent-A-Car. If you don’t need all the space opt for a smaller car and save 5% off your travel reservations at Thrifty Car Rental. Save time on farther trips by opting for airborne travel. Depending on your destination, fly Spirit Air with fares as low as $9 each way. For more flexible airfare deals, book with CheapOair and save up to 65% off spring flight deals plus $10 off. No matter how you’re planning to get there, buckle up and enjoy the ride—it’s part of the adventure after all!
