You don’t have to stay home: Summer travel deals you can still book

Andrew Kunesh

This year, summer travel is expected to be busier and more expensive than in years past. Don't let this scare you off just yet, though. Hidden beneath the heap of expensive tickets and sold-out hotels are a handful of destinations where you can still find a reasonable flight or train ticket.

To help you get out and about without breaking the bank this summer, we've compiled these cheap destinations in this post. We'll update this post every other week throughout the summer, with new travel deals valid from June through the middle of September. So, bookmark it and check back for the latest deals.

This week, we have a variety of deals for you: from domestic jaunts to flights to Europe. There's something for everyone, and all flights are well under $500. In fact, some are under $100 round trip.

Here's the line-up of some affordable trips this summer so you can get to booking.

For more TPG news delivered each morning to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter .

Fly to Toronto without breaking the bank

Canada has recently seen an influx of new low-cost carriers starting service to/from the U.S., including Flair and Swoop . In turn, this brings affordable flights to our neighbor up north to Americans.

For example, Flair is offering flights from Chicago to Toronto for as low as $118 throughout the summer.

Or, you can book Swoop from New York to Toronto for under $150 round trip.

Canada's quirkiest carrier, Porter, is offering flights from Boston to Toronto for roughly $211 in late August.

Head to Mexico from Texas

Texans, listen up: Right now, you can book flights to Mexico for under $250 round trip.

Those based in Austin, Dallas and Houston can leverage budget carriers like Frontier, Spirit and VivaAerobus to fly to Cancun and Mexico City.

Austinites will find Cancun tickets for $250 or less round trip in July and August on Spirit Airlines. Budget in a little extra for bags and a snack, if needed, and you'll be on your way to a relaxing long weekend away in no time. (Here's how you skip the bag fee and maximize the free Spirit carry-on .)

Houstonians can take advantage of reasonably priced Spirit tickets to Cancun, too, with flights starting pricing at under $200 round trip in July and August.

Cheap flights to Europe are back

Or, you can try Iceland's newest low-cost carrier — Play — to fly Baltimore to Reykjavik for as low as $300 round trip in July. Here are some on-the-ground tips for Iceland if you make the journey.

For deals to Europe, you can also search Norse Atlantic Airways, which TPG's own Ethan Klapper is using to fly to Europe for $129 one-way in June.

Domestic flights deals exist

Despite higher-than-average airfare, we also found low-cost domestic flights on select routes. Not surprisingly, the majority of lower-cost fares are found on low-cost carriers. However, some routes have deals on the Big 3 U.S. carriers, too.

From Denver, you can fly Frontier to Las Vegas for as little as $60 round trip or Salt Lake City for just under $80 this June.

If you're a New Yorker, jet to Nashville for under $100 with Spirit on various dates in June. Here are some tips on where to stay if you head to Music City .

Going further west, you can score tickets between Austin and San Diego for under $150 round trip with Allegiant on select dates. You can also find Alaska-operated flights in the low-$200s on the same route. Of course, if you choose to fly with Alaska, you could also leverage the co-branded credit card's companion certificate .

Consider Amtrak this summer

None of those routes strike your interest? Maybe you'd rather hit the rails instead.

Amtrak is chock-full of great deals this summer from many U.S. cities. In fact, if you're based in the New York City area, you can book Northwest Regional tickets for well under $75 round trip in coach. So, book a ticket and finally take that trip to Boston, Washington D.C. or Philadelphia you've been planning.

travel deals this summer

If you're based in Chicago, hop on a long-distance train to Washington D.C. or New Orleans for under $250 round trip this summer.

travel deals this summer

Meanwhile, in the Pacific Northwest, you can book trains from Seattle to Portland (and vice-versa) for as little as $55 round trip.

Bottom line

If you have some flexibility this summer and let the fares drive your destination decisions a bit, you can still travel this summer. It helps to be open to new destinations and avoid weekend travel as those dates are often the most expensive, sometimes by a large margin.

Remember: If you're interested in booking, act quickly. Airfare prices can and do change with regularity.

You Can Still Book Cheap Summer Flights to These Destinations

While the excitement of the  summer travel season is upon us, it’s coming with one major caveat:  high price tags on airfare . With  scaled-back flight schedules , strategizing— especially by booking early —is more essential than ever before. But even if you haven’t locked in your flights yet, it’s not too late to find that affordable summer getaway, if you know where to go.

“Entertainment meccas, such as Las Vegas and Orlando, provide consistent value, with especially good deals in the summer,” says Kevin Heery, Priceline ’s chief product officer. “There is widely available inventory at multiple star-levels and price points to cater to different interests and budgets.”

Broadly speaking, domestic airfares are going down, as Kayak ’s consumer travel trends expert Kayla Inserra says they’ve seen the average price over the last two weeks dip 23 percent, while international fares have gone up 11 percent during the same period. Even so, travelers who want to use their passports can still find flight deals.

We looked at data from both Priceline and Kayak, as well as Skyscanner and Booking.com , to hone in on nine of the best destinations still offering affordable summer vacations. 

The Nevada city continues to be a top choice for Americans, appearing on all four booking companies’ lists. For Skyscanner, it was the top booked destination for the summer for roundtrip economy airfare for departures between May 1 and September 1, while Booking.com noted that it’s one of its top cities offering  Getaway Deals , as well as one of the most searched and trending locations for domestic travelers.

Despite June being the peak month for  Kayak , which named Vegas one of its most popular summer destinations, roundtrip summer prices from Phoenix start at $80 and from Chicago O’Hare at $166, with average round trips being $315. Priceline also noted an average nightly hotel at $130, making it one of the most affordable places to stay as well.

Madeira, Portugal 

At the top of Skyscanner’s best value destinations for the year is Madeira, Portugal , which has seen a 22 percent price drop since the beginning of the pandemic—and also seen a 123 percent increase in searches, landing it on the booking site’s hot list for family travel. 

The best days to fly to the islands off the coast of northern Africa are in August, according to the site , with average roundtrip flights from $588. Fares increase to $692 for bookings in July, and $776 for flights in June.

With bold-faced name attractions like Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, it’s no surprise this Florida city also showed up on every booking company’s lists for summer deals. Kayak called Orlando the cheapest summer destination for domestic travel, with an average airfare of $335. Meanwhile Skyscanner’s global travel trends expert Laura Lindsay said it was one of the top booked summer cities, with fares as low as $70 roundtrip in June.

This summer also brings the return of Southwest Airlines service from Boston; Cincinnati; and Jackson, Mississippi; as well as JetBlue flights from Worcester, Massachussetts. New service is also being launched from Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina, on Avelo ; Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Long Beach, California, on Southwest; and Providence, Rhode Island, on Breeze. 

A temple with a water fountain.

Taipei, Taiwan

Perhaps most surprisingly, Taiwan’s capital was also called out by three of the travel booking sites. It was the top trending international destination on Kayak, with a 344 percent increase from last year in booking searches, while Skyscanner called it one of the most underrated alternative destinations. 

“This summer, especially now that Asia has dropped most of its covid restrictions, we’re seeing travelers venture further,” Heery said, highlighting Taipei as one of Priceline's most affordable destinations with hotel average rates at $130.  Skyscanner  lists August flights from $875. While served by carriers like United and Cathay Pacific, Taiwan own’s  EVA Air also provides top-notch service , as does the newcomer to the market,  Starlux Airlines, which just launched its first U.S. route to LAX , this spring, with  August rates starting at $901 .

Salt Lake City 

“Typically a hot ski destination, Salt Lake City is prime for summer travels, too, with plenty of outdoor activities like boat rides, biking, scenic hikes, or visiting one of the many nearby national parks,” Inserra says. She notes that average airfare on Kayak is about $370, which is a 26 percent decrease compared to last summer.  Skyscanner also said that the cheapest month to fly to the Utah capital is June (specifically June 20 is the cheapest arrival date), showing the lowest roundtrip fares starting at $47 in June, $54 in July, and $52 in August.  

The north Texas hub is one that “may not be top of mind, but you should definitely check out,” Heery says, noting it’s on Priceline's Top 10 Most Affordable list for both airfare and hotels.  Dallas , the self-professed “official home of the frozen margarita,” is filled with activities to beat the Texas heat, from water activities on White Rock Lake or Trinity River to Shakespeare Dallas ’ outdoor Shakespeare in the Park shows at the Samuell-Grand Amphitheater lawn, this year featuring Much Ado About Nothing , Two Gentlemen from Verona , and King Lear .

Kayak also ranked it as one the cheapest summer domestic destinations with $369 average airfare, with roundtrip flights from Phoenix for $190, Chicago O'Hare from $203, and San Diego for $320.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

“If you’re looking to travel internationally without breaking the bank, Canada is a great option,” Inserra says. While Toronto has roundtrip deals on Kayak averaging $405 roundtrip and Montreal for $492, Calgary, which sits just a bit more at $512, is a less crowded market, but offers  nearly 20,000 acres of parks , as well as hiking on the Bow River Pathway, biking around the  Glenmore Reservoir , or even high-speed fun on  one of the continent’s fastest ziplines . Priceline also called out the Alberta city for its low hotel rates, averaging $148 a night.

Cancun, Mexico

There’s a reason Cancun is such a popular beach getaway. Not only is it in the same central time zone as Chicago in the summer, but flight deals are not hard to hunt down. Kayak says that prices have seen a 20 percent drop since last summer, with average roundtrip airfares at $551. Prices tend to rise as it gets deeper into the summer, with $448 in June, $556 in July, and $575 in August.

It’s also one of Booking.com’s top locations for Getaway Deals, and among Kayak and Skyscanner’s top spots for international travel.

Manila, Philippines 

For both Kayak and Skyscanner, Manila was one of the top international destinations. With high season being November through January, the off-peak season makes it one of Priceline's most affordable destinations with average nightly hotel rates at $123. Summer roundtrip flights will still likely be in the four-digit range,  according to Kayak , with a sharp drop of nearly $300 from July to August. That said, the booking site did find a one-way ticket between New York and Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International for $458.

How to get the best summer travel deals, according to experts

VIDEO: How to find good travel deals amid soaring airfare prices

As summer approaches, travelers are preparing for trips in huge numbers after many people put off vacations for years during the COVID-19 pandemic -- and that's being reflected in the prices.

"This summer, Americans can expect to pay more for airfare than they have paid in the last 10 years," Hayley Berg, an economist at Hopper , an online booking platform, told "Good Morning America." "Right now, domestic round trip travel costs about $360, and that's up 15% versus 2019, the last normal year of travel before the pandemic, and up significantly since the start of the year."

But even though prices for travel are up amid the increased demand for travel, travelers can still get good deals, according to travel experts, who have a few key tips for locking in low airfare rates as summer travel heats up.

travel deals this summer

Berg recommends customers book summer flights by the first week of May. After that, "prices will just continue to rise," Berg said.

"If you're planning a trip right now, be aggressive, start planning early and take a look at your route that you're flying and how busy it is," added Willis Orlando, senior product operations specialist for Scott's Cheap Flights .

Although you can wait for a sale or a day when fares have dropped on popular routes where there is a lot of competition, booking early is especially important if you are booking a trip in a region or route that does not have a lot of competition, Orlando told "GMA."

travel deals this summer

"If your route is served by one or two airlines at most, you don't have that competition, you can expect these high prices to persist," Orlando said. "In that case, start monitoring it early, and as soon as you see a dip to a reasonable level, lock it in, because you're not likely to see a drop much further than that."

When shopping for airfare, flexibility in terms of dates and locations can mean better prices, whether that means leaving on a different day of the week or flying into a smaller, regional airport.

"Try booking your departing flight on a Tuesday or Wednesday, when prices are typically the lowest," Berg said. "Or if you're flexible on where you fly into or out of, check out more regional airports. Oftentimes, lower cost carriers will fly out of regional airports."

Another good way to get a good deal is to track prices for preferred flights.

"Use a price monitoring tool, so you're updated on where prices are and how they're changing," Berg said.

Another concern that experts point to are pilot shortages, which have led to some airlines trimming summer flight schedules as well as delays and cancellations across the industry.

To avoid that, experts say to book on off-peak days and to book flights for the morning. If you're traveling for a wedding or other specific event, Berg recommends arriving a day or two early, in case there are delays or cancellations.

"The biggest thing you can do is be flexible and fly kind of off-peak, so if you're flying out of try flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday or Saturday. It is a little less busy those days, which means that if there is a problem somewhere, it's less likely to cascade into a kind of mass cancellation event," Orlando said.

Here are some of our favorite summer vacation family packages to create awesome memories with your loved ones.

1. Summer of More at Gaylord Hotels

Families can take advantage of two promotions at participating Gaylord Hotels locations. During the "Summer of More," hotel guests can take advantage of promotions from mid-May through early September.

Gaylord Hotels are part of the Marriott Bonvoy collection of hotels so you can earn and redeem points for your stay. Each of the six locations offers spectacular atrium spaces, thrilling water parks and pools, unique events and entertainment and multiple dining venues.

The first package includes an overnight stay, two scavenger hunt booklets and two crafts in the Adventure Kids' Clubhouse. A second promo offering includes the above plus four tickets to the hotel's water park or a unique show. Details of each package and available dates vary by hotel location.

The five Gaylord resorts in the U.S. are located in Aurora, Colorado; Grapevine, Texas; Kissimmee, Florida; Nashville, Tennessee; and National Harbor, Maryland.

2. Flight-included vacation packages with Hilton at Resorts World Bimini, Bahamas

Coordinating flights with a visit to a hard-to-reach destination with your hotel stay is quite helpful. Hilton at Resorts World Bimini is offering a package that includes round-trip flights from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, via Tropic Ocean Airways. The two- or three-night Fly & Stay package starts at $835 per person for a two-night stay with flights and accommodations.

Eligible onsite spending will rack up Hilton Honors points, especially when using a Hilton Honors-affiliated credit card during a trip to paradise.

The 4.5-acre Resorts World Bimini Beach area is similar to party-style beach clubs on other islands and a favorite of sun-seeking guests.

Another benefit of this package is that it includes complimentary access to visiting guest-performer events and concerts.

3. Free room upgrade and perks at Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel in Miami

Whether you're splashing in the ocean, playing in the sand or lounging at the pool, the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida, is the place to be. Guests receive a free room upgrade and bonus perks during their stay at this IHG-branded hotel .

The perks vary based on the length of your stay, but can include a waived resort fee , food and beverage credits, free valet parking or a complimentary poolside cabana.

Kimpton is a pet-friendly hotel , so you don't have to leave your pet at home during your family vacation. Plus, you get the usual Kimpton benefits, like complimentary bikes, free Wi-Fi and an evening social hour. Book and stay by Sept. 30, 2023, for this package.

4. Fourth night free at Grand Hyatt Baha Mar and SLS Baha Mar

This popular World of Hyatt Resort in the Bahamas is offering the fourth night free in a special summer package.

There are several hotels within the complex. Grand Hyatt Baha Mar is celebrating its sixth anniversary, and this special package includes free dining for kids under 5 and a $100 resort credit.

Neighbors SLS Baha Mar and Rosewood Baha Mar are offering similar family-friendly offers this summer, too. For example, the Rosewood Baha Mar includes an extra night for every three paid nights from May 12 to Oct. 31, 2023.

6. Three-night vacation packages starting at $199

Holiday Inn Club Vacations is offering a three-night vacation package starting below $200. Guests get to choose one of 10 locations across the U.S., including Orlando, Florida; Las Vegas; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and Williamsburg, Virginia.

The only catch with this IHG promotion is that it's a timeshare offer, which means you'll need to attend a timeshare presentation .

For those families willing to give up a couple of hours of their trip, you'll get a four-day, three-night vacation for around $200.

Vacation packages are $199 plus tax for a hotel vacation or $249 plus tax to stay at a Holiday Inn Club Vacations resort. You have 12 months to reserve your trip, and extra nights can be added for an additional fee.

Guest rooms accommodate up to four travelers which makes them perfect for a family vacation. Plus, you'll receive 10,000 IHG bonus points after attending the presentation.

How to save money on summer vacation packages

Family summer vacations can get expensive quickly, but these tips will help you reduce costs, so you can focus on creating lifelong memories.

Free night when redeeming points

Create your own summer vacation package by taking advantage of special redemption rules for hotel points.

IHG offers the fourth night free to all members who have one of the IHG's co-branded credit cards .

Use companion tickets for flights

Summer travel deals can save money, but you still have to get to the destination. Using an airline's companion ticket gets you there for a fraction of the cost.

The Southwest Companion Pass can be used an unlimited number of times, and you can change your companion up to three times per year.

Other airlines, like Alaska Airlines , Delta Air Lines and American Airlines , offer this benefit once per year through their credit cards. However, some credit cards require meeting spending requirements to earn the companion ticket.

» Learn more: The best airline credit cards right now

Bonus points for travel purchases

When paying for your summer vacation package, use a credit card that offers bonus points on travel purchases.

While this won't save money on this reservation, you'll earn extra rewards toward your next vacation.

» Learn more: The best travel credit cards right now

Compare flexible points options

Travelers often get the most value when transferring flexible points (like American Express Membership Points , Chase Ultimate Rewards ® or Citi ThankYou Points ) to airlines and hotels, but that isn't always the best option.

Compare the cost of an award reservation versus using your points like cash. Some cards, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card , offer high redemption values when booking travel through the bank's travel portal.

Plan early to book vacation packages this year

When traveling with the whole family, vacation packages can help you make the most of your summer trip and save cash while racking up perks.

It’s not just about hotel points and elite status benefits. These packages are great add-ons to your existing loyalty program benefits and credit card perks to enhance any trip.

You want a travel credit card that prioritizes what’s important to you. Here are our picks for the best travel credit cards of 2024 , including those best for:

Mackinac Island, Michigan

In the summer, there's no place like Mackinac Island , a National Historic Landmark void of chain hotels and cars — yes, you read that right. Instead, your family will be treated to an old-timey experience filled with world-famous Mackinac Island fudge and days spent biking around the island, taking a ferry under the Mackinac Bridge, or cruising around the coast by kayak.

The star of the island is the historic Grand Hotel , which opened its doors in 1887. In addition to old-world hospitality and perks like afternoon tea, the hotel features on-site stables and an expansive pool. Kids can also spend the day playing lawn games and mini-golf.

Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona

A trip to the Grand Canyon is almost certainly on the to-do list for lots of families. And while the natural wonder tends to be busy in the summer, you can avoid the crowds (and find better pricing) by heading to the North Rim of the park, open seasonally. Cozy up in the Grand Canyon Lodge — book early to secure a room! — or reserve a campsite at the North Rim Campground. This area offers pleasant summer temperatures and serves as the perfect base camp to enjoy the abundant wildlife, hiking trails, and views of the stunning canyon, which is 270 miles long, 18 miles wide, and a mile deep.

Travel could be a good deal this summer. Here's when plane ticket prices will peak.

travel deals this summer

Spring is springing, and according to Hopper, it’s time to start thinking about your summer vacation plans.

New data from the online booking site shows some favorable trends for travelers in the next few months, including slightly lower airfares compared with 2023 and hotel and car rental prices that are more or less flat year-over-year.

Here’s what you need to know as you prepare to book, whether you’re looking for a domestic getaway or go on an overseas adventure. It’s also not too late to take advantage of deals on some last-minute trips.

How much are spring and summer plane tickets?

According to Hopper, the best deals right now are on domestic airline tickets. Round-trip flights within the U.S. are averaging $290 in April, but prices are expected to rise in the months ahead.

Hopper’s data shows prices for domestic flights will peak between May and June at $315 on average, then will gradually fall through the summer, reaching a low of $264 on average in September.

On a call with investors discussing first-quarter earnings Wednesday, Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said summer travel demand has been pushed forward in recent years in part because schools, especially in the South, are finishing their summer breaks earlier in the year.

Short vs. long cruises: Which one is right for you? Here's how they compare.

This summer also will be a good time to travel internationally; Hopper data shows fares to most destinations abroad are down compared with last year. 

“Airfare to international destinations continues to improve following two years of bloated prices due to quickly recovering demand, high fuel prices and supply constraints. Airfare to most major regions of the world has dropped compared to last year with the exception of trips to Canada,” Hayley Berg, Hopper’s chief economist, said in the report. “International fares remain higher than pre-pandemic levels to most regions, as higher fuel prices persist and airlines continue to rebuild capacity to many regions.”

How much will a hotel room for the spring and summer cost?

Hotel prices remain mostly flat compared with the same time last year. Rooms in the U.S. are averaging $206 a night; better deals are available in some trending international destinations like Osaka, Japan, and Istanbul, Turkey.

According to Hopper, Las Vegas, New York and Chicago remain popular destinations in the U.S.

Will car rental prices rise this summer?

Car rental prices also haven’t increased much since last year and average $42 a day, according to Hopper.
