So You Think You Can Dance? Shake It for Travelzoo and Win a Vacation

May 17, 2011 at 10:42 AM | by | Comments (0)

The start of another week brings a new travel contest, but at least with this one you can get up and move around for a chance to win a free vacation. Travelzoo just launched a new series of television commercials—complete with 80s soundtrack—and they’re encouraging everyone to dance along.

The travel deal website teamed up with Jennifer Hamilton—apparently she’s done choreography for movies like Austin Powers and Charlie’s Angels—to create a whole new song and dance thing set to Hey Mickey. Obviously Travelzoo is looking to stir up some new business—along with getting their new song stuck in our heads—but they’re also looking to give away some free stuff.

St. Patrick's Day is less than two weeks away, so now's the time to make plans. But instead of hitting up your local pub for a beer-fueled evening—which is what you do every weekend anyway—hit up an authentic Irish city, whether it be locally in Boston or in the motherland in Dublin.

$599 Will Get You a Week in Dublin for St. Patrick's Day Festivities

Where: Dublin, Ireland
February 17, 2011 at 1:12 PM | by | Comments (0)

St. Patrick's Day is around the corner and the place to celebrate with a pint of Guinness will be the mecca for all things St. Pat's: Dublin, Ireland. Travelzoo is running a great deal that will send you to the Emerald Isle for only $599.

Unfortunately, the package gets you to Dublin on March 19, two days after St. Pat's Day, but the country will surely still be celebrating when you arrive. In fact, Dublin's official St. Patrick's Day Festival runs through March 20. So be sure to pack your tackiest big old green hat to share in the festivities. The deal is partially so good because it happens just after the holiday.

Travelzoo's Local Deals Beat Groupon's Butt with $99 Helicopter Lessons

January 18, 2011 at 1:36 PM | by | Comment (1)

Forgive us for even bringing it up, but Groupon Groupon Groupon. We're so tired of hearing about it, especially since we've never scored anything worth writing home about from the site (spa deals and meals at restaurants we've never heard of seem to make up the bulk of offerings), but there's a potential good that can come of group buying for discounts: cheap travel. We're always on the look-out for worthwhile travel groupons and while there haven't many/any, there comes an interesting one today from the Groupon-like site Travelzoo Local Deals, for a $99 Helicopter Lesson and 30-minute flight.

The $99 Travelzoo special is cut down from $265 and is available to anyone who can make it to Lincoln Park, NJ for the session. Or...Travelzoo's Boston deals has a $99 helicopter deal too.

01-01-11 Travel Deals: Make a Beeline for Mexico for $499

December 28, 2010 at 11:30 AM | by | Comments (0)

We've been stuck in the Snowpocalypse in New York and, while unburying our car, we daydreamed of sun and sand—basically the opposite of snow. That's why we are digging this four-day, all-inclusive trip to Los Cabos, Mexico, for $499 for our pick of 01/01/11 trips.

You can spend the first day of the new year chillin' on the beach of the Sea of Cortez. Hey, that sounds far more awesome than spending New Years freezing your butt off while holding in your pee for 7 hours in Times Square. The Travelzoo deal includes airfare, four nights at the InterContinental Presidente Los Cabos, and all food and drinks—including alcohol. Plus, kids stay free.

How I Flew Direct to Tokyo for $680 Total

November 3, 2010 at 9:57 AM | by | Comments (0)

There is something so delicious about voicing the words, "I'm going to Tokyo." When you mention it to friends, family, co-workers, random people at a deli...Tokyo still holds such an exotic mystique that the idea that you will soon be on the other side of the world, in it, is a thought that generates curiosity from all corners. When this was me, holding the secret that my tickets were booked and I was Tokyo-bound, the days passed seemingly filled with sparkling sakura dancing above my head and yet my biggest (and sweetest) secret was how little I had paid for the roundtrip flights.

I'd lean in closer and lower my voice to tell people this secret, although that barely disguised my excitement.

"Guess how much I paid?" -- I'd ask, practically bursting with the thrill of what I knew would follow.

Three Destinations to Be Thinking About for Father's Day Trips

May 28, 2010 at 8:38 AM | by | Comments (0)

There's only so many ugly ties and lame golf-related paraphernalia you can buy dad for Father's Day before it becomes a joke. We don't know about you, but we're always stuck on what to get our pops, since he doesn't really wear ties or golf anyway. But we realized that the perfect gift for any dad is a vacation. Who doesn't like a getting away? This year, treat him to a Guinness...in Dublin.

For our Father's Day travel picks, follow us after the jump.
