Carribean will be very hot and humid. If you decide to spend most of the time on beach or pool then it is ok, sometimes even the breakfast and buffet restaurants are hot. Yes you can have as much alcohol as you want. They have some local beers and some premium, depend on the resort you go to. There will have a mini freeze that will be filled up every day with beer and there are bars all over the resort. They have couple of main bar were you get most premium alcohol and cocktails. But believe me, they have more alcohol then you will be able to consume.

By chance does anyone know any last minute flights to Turkey (izmir or istanbul) from Montreal? Been looking for departure dates between June 21 and 24 and a return date of July 21 (flexible on leaving before that date), but haven't found anything decent; ya it's the high season and for sure this is really last minute. I have a british passport, so don't mind doing domestic flight or the train, planes and automobiles through the EU .

I've had good success with http://www.grandescapades.com (In the Montreal area), they can match the price, and will usually throw in a $50-$100 Visa gift card as well. They're more of a brick-and-mortar travel agency

I am looking for a good deal for my family's first all-inclusive vacation in the south. We want to leave on the 5th or 5th of August but we are finding, as it indicated earlier in this posting that it isn't easy to find serious last minute deals. it is probably partly because I am new to this but I am finding it difficult to find a vacation in Punta Cana or the Mayan Riveria that is under 5,000 for four people including two young children (5 and 7). Are my expectations unrealistic?

I have looked on Expedia, redtag.ca, selloffvacations and several other websites multiple times so far . . .any assistance would be appreciated.

$4700 in early August for a family of four in Grand Bahia Principe in LaRomana, which is an excellent 5 star resort. Or $4900 in for the Grand Bahia Principe in Punta Cana.

thanks , now I can book for my 1 year anniversary trip

great list but you might want to add nextdeparture.ca as they're really good for last minute deals and mistake fares

Looking to book a trip in early September from Toronto to Faro, Lisbon to Barcelona and Barcelona to Toronto. About a week and a half ago, that whole trip was under $900 a person.. It is now over $1100! I did not have the dates confirmed at the time (I do now) so I couldn't book it. Does that route usually drop in price? There are cheaper routes available, but they would be on separate airlines purchased on separate tickets. Seems kind of risky.. May be worth saving hundreds though. I don't know...

Hi Guys.. can anyone here help me with sites where i can find cheap flight deals to India, Mumbai. Looking to travel in June for about 2 months. i have tried most of the websites listed, but still trying to figure a way to beat the price.

thread really needs to be updated. half the links in here don't work.

I just booked a trip last night...I've been doing AI's for 18 years now and we go 1-2 times per year. I looked into costco travel, but they don't offer anything different than other sites...maybe the 2% cashback for executive members but I didn't see anything else. On a $4000 booking it's only $80 if my math is correct.

I always book with the site that gives the most in freebies...yesterday it was Travel nation who gave a $175 esso gas card. Last July it was itravel2000 for petro points. Last Feb it was selloffvacations who gave a week of parking at park and fly (3 families so 3 free cars). You just have to look around and see who gives what you value the most. I think it was escapes.ca who offered up to $200 in price protection...but I'd rather get the gas card then take the chance of the price going down.

Do the math, see what offers are out there and pick what works best for you. Not what you're asking but maybe it will help

Thanks very much!

What is the best site to use in 2019?

I checked Costco travel for our trip, it was $8k. Identical flights and hotel on Expedia was $3,700.
If I had book separate I would have saved about $100

Do any of these Last minute travel sites actually work ? If so how much realistically are they cheaper compared to the usual travel websites?
