Fabulous Journeys

Where Are The Deals

Being an avid traveller, I’ve always spent a lot of money on travel. It’s my one passion in life, and I’d save up just to be able to do my Fabulous Journeys around the world. Each year, I always make it a point that I’d go somewhere that I haven’t been to, whether domestic or international. I have this thirst for exploring new places, and I always go and research new destinations on Lonely Planet to get some great ideas on where I can go next.

Once I’ve done my search and decided on where I want to go, the first thing I do is search online for great deals on hotels, or accommodations in general, and flights. There are tons and tons of websites around, and I always find that in the end, there are only a handful of websites that I usually go back to, as I’ve always seen them provide me with great deals. Out of the handful, 2 of them have been more frequent in terms of giving great deals than others. Here they are:

Expedia

Expedia has more often delivered the best value rates for accommodations in Europe, the US and most other destinations around the world that I’ve been to. On my recent trip to Fiji in April, I managed to find a 5-star resort hotel for only $80 per night. That is absolutely unheard of in Fiji, and this is from Expedia itself! I’ve also booked accommodations in Seville through Expedia, and I found that they even offered me a rate that’s way lower than the hotel standard rate! Many times I’ve ran out of time to search through different websites for a great deal, I’ll always check out Expedia first and find what the best deal is.

Zuji

Zuji is another site that I’ve used more frequently to search for great deals on flights. They also have great deals on accommodations, and between Expedia and Zuji, one of them would give me a great deal. I have booked one of my trips to England with Zuji several years ago, and since then, I’ve kept on using this site to get great airline and hotel deals. A lot of the great deals from Zuji is mainly in Asia and Australia/New Zealand, so if you plan to make a trip to Australia, New Zealand or the rest of Asia, check Zuji out.

These are all based on my experience, and having travelled a fair bit and looked for great deals, I can honestly say that they can be tough to beat for value for money deals.
