The best site for discount vacation travel?

Question

I need to book a vacation package to Hawaii. Does anyone know of the best or cheapest websites for discount travel, except for Travelocity, Orbitz, and Expedia. Please let me know from your experience which is best, even if it is among the 3 that I just mentioned. But I'm really looking for one of those sites or companies that people rarely know about (if it exists). Thanks!

Answer 1

PleasantHolidays.com and suntrips.com are the ones I always find the best deals.

Answer 2

I get all of my prices from yahoo travel... then I try to spec the same trip out at each individual place (example, if the package has a flight on USAir and hotel at the sheraton, then I will go to each of their websites and see if I save money)
Sometimes it works, sometimes I don't waste the time and just use yahoo.

Answer 3

I recently took a cruise to the Western Carribbean and found a great deal on the following website. There were also places of interest and information about various vacation destinations, so this might help you out as well.

Answer 4

My brother in law used Expedia last year to book his package for Oahu. He even got the same hotel we did, and the same flight as we!!

Why Go: Trip Ideas

Honolulu, HI:
Good Vibrations
The beaches and streets of Waikiki are alive with surf, shopping and the contagious spirit of Aloha.
First, some packing advice: throw your swimsuit in last, so it's on top when you rip into your suitcase upon arrival. When you see the island's beaches from the plane, you won't want to waste any time indoors once you land.

What you can't see from the plane is the friendliness of the Hawaiian people. That's Aloha, and it is the defining spirit of the Hawaiian islands, one that you'll encounter at every turn of your adventure here.

Hit the happening scene on Waikiki Beach. You can body surf here, but the real fun comes with renting boards and taking surf lessons on Waikiki's forgiving waves. After an exhausting morning playing in the Pacific, a fish taco lunch at Duke's Canoe Club is the perfect way to revive.

Snag a shaved ice to explore the shops in the International Marketplace, including the Quicksilver/Roxy flagship surf gear store, and vendor carts hawking pearls, beads and tee's. Visit funky Japanese vintage shops en route to sumptuous Asian cuisine at Keo's open-air eatery or some innovative sushi at Sansei.


Recommendations & Suggestions:

Aloha Tower Marketplace
Honolulu Harbor
Phone: [phone]


This waterfront marketplace in Honolulu flaunts sunset ocean views, Hawaiian entertainment, first-rate cuisine and superb shopping all under one roof in the historic Honolulu Harbor. This lively spot is a favorite of visitors and locals alike, and sits in the shadow of Aloha Tower, a welcoming beacon for ships entering the harbor that has stood since 1926. There is an observation deck at the tower open to visitors as well.


Diamond Head Volcano
Diamond Head Road Between Makapu'`u and 18th Aves.


Diamond Head Volcano was formed by eruptions 100,000 years ago and is a National Natural Landmark. The extinct volcano is great for hiking and picnicing on the meadows of the crater floor. You'll get fantastic views of the city from here, all the while feeling completely removed from Honolulu's hustle and bustle. The Park gate is open daily from 6am-6pm.

Duke's Canoe Club Waikiki
2335 Kalakaua Avenue
Phone: [phone]


Duke's Canoe Club Waikiki is a fun, Hawaiian seafooder named after surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku. Located on the oceanfront property of Outrigger Waikiki Hotel, on the site of the original Outrigger Canoe Club, overlooking the spot where Duke rode the biggest wave of his life, this restaurant and attached Barefoot Bar are popular spots for locals and visitors alike. Try the Poki Rolls, seared ahi and Maui onions wrapped in oriental rice paper or the mahi mahi baked in lemon garlic and sweet basil sauce. Whatever your entree of choice, don't skip out on Duke's famous Hula Pie. Say Aloha to an Oreo cookie crust, a vanilla and macadamia nut center and a chocolate shell topped with whipped cream and shaven macadamia nuts.

International Market Place
2330 Kalakaua Avenue
Phone: [phone]


A huge 100-year-old banyan tree, which sits in the middle of this colorful open-air shopping area, marks the history and fame of the International Market Place in Waikiki. Since 1956, the International Market Place has been a popular place to shop for fun, somewhat touristy items. The Market Place is the perfect place to pick up Hawaiian souvenirs like aloha shirts, fresh-water pearls (which you can take home in an oyster preserved in a can!), wood carvings, Hawaiian gold, kites and tapestries. The vibrant spirit of the Market Place, often enhanced by live Hawaiian music, infuses visitors with the "aloha spirit" and encourages them to stay, browse and have a good time. Bargaining is accepted at the Market Place so flex your bargaining muscles and that hand-carved, miniature ukulele can be yours at a great price!

Answer 6

depending where you are flying from, try cheap tickets. If you are flying from an airpoort where hawaiian air flys from, they are pretty good.
