Summer will be here before you know it, so it’s time to submit that PTO request and get planning.
Somehow, we’re past the point of making spring break travel plans for 2024. We’re honestly not sure how it happened, but here we are. Truly warmer weather will be here before we know it, the summer vacation season isn’t so far away either. In the famous words of the ‘90s adult contemporary icons Wilson Phillips, we just gotta hold on.
Yes, it’s time to get those 2024 getaways on the calendar if you haven’t already, particularly if you’re still eyeing a summer adventure. Heck, it’s not even too early to start thinking about a fall vacation. Don’t forget, with travel deals the early bird often gets the worm, so you won’t want to wait too long to take advantage of savings on your travel plans.
April is really the last month, according to experts, to get some truly great deals on summer travel—historically, prices tend to sky rocket as we head into May and get nearer to the official kickoff of summer vacation: Memorial Day weekend. And while MDW is traditionally a time to snag big sales on furniture and jewelry, finding a cheap MDW flight is a bit more challenging. But don’t worry, if there’s deal to be found, Thrillist will let you know.
The deals below should have you covered no matter what sort of getaway is most appealing to you and yours. We’ve got all sorts of cheap flights, travel and hotel deals, with both budget-friendly and aspirational options, for you to consider. There are vacation packages, train deals, tour savings, and even camper van rental promos and the occasional luggage deal.
Throughout the month, we’ll keep this post fresh so you can stay on top of all the best flight, travel, and hotel deals so you can save money when you’re getting out there this month and beyond. Bookmark this page and we promise you’ll always have something good to come back for.
