If your schedule is flexible enough, or you really rely on luck to give you some of the best deals for airfare.  The deals are there because airlines and hotels would rather receive something for a seat that would normally be empty so if you know where to look, you can get some great discounts and find a hidden airfare bargain (up to 70% off retail price).  So where does the dollar conscious traveler look to get such great deals?
One of the best places to look for great deals is online.  The Internet is a great clearinghouse for last minute travel packages that include hotel, air, and car as well.  Sometimes some of these travel packages contain tickets to amusement parks as well and it depends upon the package and the time of year.

The first website to look for secret airfare deals is lastminute.com.  This site is organized by activity and by resource need.  You can find last minute deals on just about every aspect of your vacation including the airfare.  You can also find whole vacation packages that allow you to get even more discounts.  There is one nice feature for those that like to make reservations at the very last minute, and that is the “last second deals” selection.  The searches are quite organized and will give you a choice of hotels and flights if you are booking a combination.
