UPDATE: Jan. 17, 2024, 11:45 a.m. EST This post is updated weekly with the latest travel deals on flights, cruises, theme park tickets, hotels, and more.
We all follow those people on Instagram who are somehow always on vacation. We don't know their life story, but we'd be willing to bet they didn't pay full price for that excursion — they just planned strategically. We're keeping track of the best flight, train, luggage, and hotel deals below to help you do the same. Now get outta here.
Flights
Why we like it
Frontier isn't done breaking the internet with its All You Can Fly passes. After a handful of super cheap seasonal passes that unlocked unlimited flights over a span of six months or so, Frontier has finally given the deal treatment to its annual unlimited pass. For a one-time payment of $599 — about what you'd normally pay for two roundtrip flights — you can fly as much as you want to both domestic and international Frontier destinations for an entire year, starting May 1, 2024, and ending April 30, 2025.
$599 is inarguably a steal for a year of unlimited flights, but it is a spike from the debut price of $499 that we saw previously. The same thing happened to the previous summer pass, which slowly got as much as $300 more expensive throughout the year — so be sure to read the fine print and get yours before the price goes up again.

Trains, cruises, and rental cars
Why we like it
If you need a sign to book that cruise you've been talking about taking since last year, Norwegian Cruise Line's current deal that cuts cruise fares in half is that sign. The Greek Islands, Australia, the Caribbean, the Seychelles, Northern Europe, and Alaska are all options covered by the 50% off promotion, with trip lengths as short as four days or as long as 17 days available. You'll also save with an unlimited open bar, free specialty dining, and more.

Theme park deals
Why we like it
Vacation doesn't feel like vacation when you're trying to cram a theme park's full glory into a few short days. You can double the length of your two-day trip for free when you purchase single-park tickets for two days (as long as they're consecutive). That's four days for the price of two, so you can really take your time between Universal and Islands of Adventure — or even devote a whole day to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. You could even use your savings to pay for an upgrade to include access to Volcano Bay.
Hotels
Why we like it
Expedia's Big January sale treats Expedia members to savings of at least 25% on stays at select hotels through August 31 (and booked by Jan. 31). Possible destinations include Las Vegas, Orlando, New York, and San Fransisco with a ton of rates less than $200 per night. You do have to be an Expedia One Key member, but joining is free and unlocks perks like redeemable OneKeyCash earned on flights, hotels, and rental cars, plus access to special pricing throughout the year.
