Our travel deal of the week is for November, and December travel to Dublin, Ireland; including Thanksgiving. Depart between November 12 thru December 6 or January 7 thru March 6, 2013, to qualify for the lowest airfares.

Imagine an Irish beer with your turkey dinner for Thanksgiving or you may have to settle for Irish beer and a Sheppard's pie.

What makes Dublin look so great in price is by comparing the cost to fly to most European destinations. First, you must pay $516 in fuel surcharges, and at least $100 to $200 in international taxes for other European destinations, and the sad part is you haven't even purchased your airline ticket yet, these are just the fees.

If you really want to pick some real Irish four-leaf clovers or maybe find that pot of gold in savings, today Ireland has it all! Check out our sample airfares and spend the fall, Thanksgiving or winter in Ireland a la cheap.

Of course many of you are going to need hotel, don't forget to bundle your air and hotel together and save big.

We Have Over 20 Promo Codes Valid Thru 2014 That Can Save You Hundreds

Throughout the year, we receive many airfare and travel offers from American Airlines, Frontier, Southwest, Hawaiian Air, Virgin America, Alaska Air, and more. Discounts will vary month by month. Some are short term, while others are valid for months. It's potluck.

While we know that some of these airlines don't serve your particular departure city, you can still pass them along to family and friends. Bestfares.com makes zero, zilch, notta from promoting these discounts, we just like passing along the savings!

Please note some of these discounts are not yet bookable. Airlines only allow you to book out 330 in advance, therefore some of the fall and winter 2013/ 2014 airfares can't be booked yet. But it is still great to know about these discounts in advance as many people book family trips, honeymoons, and romantic getaways months in advance.

NEW HOT PROMO CODE:

Frontier will offer a 5% discount on domestic fares from Wednesday, September 12, 2012, through 11:59 p.m. Eastern time, Friday, October 12, 2012. Alaska travel is excluded. The discount will apply to regular and sale fares for travel September 15, 2012, through March 17, 2013. All fare rules will apply. Tickets must be purchased online at FlyFrontier.com using the promo code FRONTIER.

Is It Worth It To Buy Miles?

You’ve probably seen enticing ads from the airlines for buying miles and you may be wondering if it is worth it to purchase them. The answer to that question depends on how many miles you need to buy, where you are going and what class of service you want to fly in.

Most airlines charge 2.5 to 3.5 cents per mile, you’ll also have to pay a 7.5 percent U.S. federal excise tax and some airlines also charge a processing fee. If you are starting out with 0 miles, you would have to pay well over $750 to qualify for a roundtrip award ticket, but I don’t know any city in the U.S. or Canada that costs that much with an advance purchase. Most long-haul flights are in the $300 range. If you have 20,000 miles, then depending on the price of your ticket, it may be worth purchasing 5,000 miles to get an award ticket. You’ll have to do the math to figure out whether purchasing miles makes sense.

Another thing to be aware of is that during peak seasons like summer and the holidays, you may need 50,000 miles for an award ticket and some destinations like Australia seem impossible to find award seats year round.

Cruise From Europe Back To The USA

For As Little As $399 Per Person

When the seasons change, so do many cruise ship itineraries and one of the biggest discounts you will find is on a repositioning cruise. These cruises offer the same amenities that you would get on a typical cruise, with plenty of food, activities and entertainment on board, but the rate per night can be quite a deal.

There are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to transatlantic cruises. Most transatlantic cruises depart out of Barcelona, South Hampton near London and Civitavecchia near Rome. You will want to get to your destination at least two days ahead because there can be weather issues in the fall and you don’t want to miss the boat.

One thing to watch out for is that one-way fares to Europe can be sky high. At Bestfares.com we’ve got some negotiated consolidator fares that bring down the cost of these fares.

One of the best deals we found was a 14-night cruise on Norwegian from Copenhagen to Miami departing on September 30. Rates started at $399 per person, or $29 per night, and for that price you’ll get a 4-star floating hotel room, all you can eat 24 hours a day and nightly entertainment. Sounds pretty good to me!
