It was recently brought to my attention that I’ve never made QuikBook.com website of the week.
I must apologize because I’ve been using them for years. One of their greatest assets is that you can book
rooms on their site but pay the hotel directly when you check out. That way, if you need to change or cancel
your reservations you can do so without any penalty fees or charges. On top of that, check out their deals for
New York City hotels this week! Some begin at prices as low as $77.
Last week, I spoke about budget travel at two colleges in Florida (here’s a
link to a newspaper article about it). In my research, I discovered a pretty unique deal from AirTran Airlines. AirTran offers college age (18 to 22) students (you don’t have to be a student) the opportunity to fly standby. It’s definitely something to consider if you’re traveling last minute and are headed to one of their 50+ destinations (Cancun and San Juan are excluded). But it’s probably not worth it if you have to make a connection as you pay for each segment. Depending on the length of the flight, prices are either $69 or $99. Keep in mind it’s standby and passengers aren’t allowed to check a bag. Certain blackout dates apply so be sure to read all the rules before showing up at the airport.
I was going to give SubwayTheater.com the honor of being Bonus Website of the Week since they are having three unique performances this weekend. However, I just checked their site and saw that seats are already sold out and the waitlists are full. But if you’re into theater, it might be something to keep on your radar since the idea is so cool: live theatre below New York City on a subway. Hopefully, they will have more, which is why I think it’s still a worth mention.
