Default REALLY Cheap Travel Deals

Do you want to get a hotel room or airline ticket at a price that nobody will believe - the type of deal that you can continue to brag about to friends and family many years from now? The key to accomplishing this is finding the mistakes that websites sometimes make when listing hotel and airline deals.

Major travel sites realize that listing mistakes will happen from time to time and the better ones will try their best to honor the rates even when a listing has been made in error. This is from the Travelocity Guarantee:




Human error happens; nobody's perfect--but in those rare cases that we make a mistake you can count on us to take responsibility for it, and to be thoughtful and fair as we work to resolve it. If, say, we inadvertently advertise a fare that's just "too good to be true," like a free trip to Fiji, we'll work with you and our travel partners to make it up to you and find a solution that puts a smile on your face.


So where can you find these deals? There are websites dedicated to finding these hotel and airline mistakes such as freetraveling.com. Just be sure to grab any error deals that you find since most don't remain live on the website long.

For more information on this and some of the risks involved, see our article Hotel & Airline Listing Mistakes - One Way To Travel Cheap
