Where Are the Bargains?
By Don Nadeau, on January 23, 2007, in Vacation Packages
As you know, the United States now requires all passengers entering the U.S. by air to have a valid passport or an approved equivalent document, such as a U.S. armed forces order.
If you already have a passport, this means last-minute bargain opportunities.
Mexico, Jamaica, and the Bahamas traditionally attract many last-minute travelers. But this year, quickly obtaining passport at the last minute can be an expensive proposition.
Check for Priceline and Hotwire deals on hotels and packages. You may be very pleasantly surprised.
On the other hand, expect Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and perhaps even Florida to be more expensive.
