Spraaaaaang Breaaaaaaaaak is just around the corner. That means a lot of us are going to be traveling for at least one week over the next few months. A great cheap flight or travel deal may well be the deciding factor in where to go. Get the sunblock ready, it’s time to plan for some fun, sun, and… maybe some rum?

Below are some of the best deals on cheap flights and travel packages right now. These are the sites and Twitter feeds that you should be following and setting up alerts for. Prices will vary. Sales will pass quickly. You’ve gotta shop hard and act fast. Good luck out there and happy travels!

KAYAK’S HACKER GUIDE

Kayak just released a new algorithm to track the best and cheapest flights month by month called the 2018 Travel Hacker Guide. They went through and crunched millions and millions of flights and found the best domestic deals in the US for under $200 and the best international deals for under $400. Then they broke everything down by month so you can find the best prices at the best times. Hopper has done something similar as well.

It’s a lifesaver if you’re looking for the best flight prices and are willing to take a risk and go somewhere completely new.

SECRET FLYING

Secret Flying has some steals this week. There’s a flight from the East Coast all the way to Cali for $89 roundtrip on United — which is a super cheap way to get across the whole country.

Another great ticket is a roundtrip from Vegas to Shanghai for only $450. That’s less than 500 bucks to spend this Spring Break enjoying the amazing food, sites, and wonders of China.

Maybe China is a little too far for a week this spring, then Hawaii might be the best alternative. Right now, you can score a roundtrip flight from PDX to all over Hawaii for as little as $372 roundtrip. Aloha!

AIRASIA DEALS

While Spring Breakers are reveling on the beaches of Florida, Thailand will erupt in the festival of all things water — Songkran. It’s a bucket list must stop for any intrepid wanderluster. Air Asia is offering flights for $21 each way from Malaysia to Thailand for the fest. So, if you’re already in the Far East, this is the time to hit Thailand for a great, wet time.

Air Asia also has great sales on their “Premium Flatbed” class on flights all over Asia from India to Australia. You can get from KL to Kathmandu in what is basically first class for $188 each way. Bali is only $122 each way. Those are amazing deals.
