Summer’s coming and so are the inflated travel prices. The good news: we’ve spent the last six weeks tracking flight, hotel, and bundle promos across our 62 travel partners — and yes, real savings still exist if you know where to look. Here’s our shortlist of deals worth your attention right now.
2. Agoda weekend hotel sale
An extra 15% on top of the existing weekend deals. Stacks with their Insider Prices, which is the unusual bit — most hotel sites don’t allow code stacking on member rates.

Why these deals matter now
Summer rates spike fastest in mid-May. The deals you book in late April are typically 18–24% cheaper than the same itinerary three weeks later. We’re not making that up — it’s our last three years of price-history data, averaged across 4,000+ tracked routes.
- Book flights at least 6 weeks before departure for international
- Book hotels with free cancellation, then re-shop the same property weekly
- Use the regional version of OTAs — sometimes the same hotel is 12% cheaper on agoda.co.th than agoda.com
The honest caveat
Some of these are affiliate links — when you book through us, the store pays us a small cut at no extra cost to you. That’s how we keep the lights on and pay our writers. We don’t write about deals we wouldn’t use ourselves; the affiliate side has zero influence on what we recommend.
