You might feel shopped out by the time January rolls around but… it’s a great time of year for travel sales.
During the month of January, there are tons of sales that every traveler should know about. We’ve compiled some information for you, to help you find these sales and snag them before the month is up!
AIRFARE SALES ✈️
January is a huge sale month for many airlines. For most of these sales or special prices, you have to head to the specific airline to get them. So in addition to searching aggregator sites for deals, it pays to visit the official airline sites directly.
Continue to use apps like Hopper or Skyscanner to compare these deals and grab them before they’re gone! The first two weeks of January are a great time to shop for flights for the first half of the year, so if you’re planning a spring or summer trip, book it now.
Psst! There’s been some buzz on the internet about particularly cheap flights to Hawaii this January. Put it into your favorite flight site and check it out.
HOTEL SALES 🌎
Check out Deal News’ deals on specific hotels and hotel packages this January. Check dates, you might have to book specific packages by a certain date and book them for a specific date. But, a deal is a deal!
The best places to visit in the U.S. during January are New York, Chicago, and Miami. Many hotels, no matter the destination, offer lower rates during January because of offseason. Discounts can generally be up to 20% off peak season rates.
TRANSPORTATION DEALS ⛴
Motorcycles & Boats
Motorcycles and boats? Yes! If you’re looking for a new way of travel, this time of year is a great time to buy items like these. The reason for this makes perfect sense, during winter months, motorcycle and boat showrooms are more empty than when it gets closer to the warmer months(except places where it’s always warm). Because the showrooms are empty, anyone who comes through the doors can attempt to make a better deal.
OFF-SEASON HOT SPOTS SALES 🌎
Sometimes, the best deal is to go somewhere you wouldn’t normally go during this time of year.
Morocco
It’s a great time to visit Morocco in January, it’s not too hot and not too cold. This destination’s peak season is March through May and September to October. The winter is rainy, but, the temperature can generally be around 60 or 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ireland
Another great destination to visit in the winter, because it’s peak season is in the spring and summer is Ireland. So, lines are much shorter and you will score some deals while you are there, because of the rapid dip in tourism.
