Las Vegas, U.S.A.

It’s cheap. It’s easy and fast to get to. It’s Las Vegas!

Las Vegas offers low hotel prices in hopes that you will gamble. If you can resist the lure of the cards, dice and tables, you will come out ahead. You can find good food prices if you take the time to do research.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Though a popular vacation spot, it still retains its Mexican culture and the restaurants and accommodation fit your budget. Easy access to other spots nearby like La Cruz and Nuevo Vallarta means that there can be many vacation experiences in one vacation.

Hotels that are reasonably priced, but 5-star hotels there have been known to give deals up to 70% off.

Merida, Mexico

Merida is no beach destination. It’s a city that will keep you busy with so many things to do and see. It is located close to the Yucatan Peninsula, that boasts Mayan ruins, and other cultural attractions.

Part of those attractions are the local markets and places to enjoy the local, diverse dishes. Merida is known for its food!

Havana, Cuba

The city is fun and full of colour and music. If you want to get away, the beaches are just 20k out of town.

Watch where the locals go to eat and join them. The food will be great, and cheap.

No matter where you go, airfare represents a big chunk of your travel budget. Here’s how to find the best deals on fall flights.

Avoid High Season

Travelling in fall already gives you an advantage in flight prices, because it is not high season for travel. Shoulder season, between high and low in September through October, and low season November through March (excluding holidays like Christmas).

Travel Midweek and at Off Times for Lower Prices

Many people have to wait until the weekend to travel, and the airlines know this, and hike prices accordingly. Early morning and late evening flights are the last to book up because the timings of the flight are less desirable.
