Here Are The Best Labor Day Travel Deals You Can Still Shop Today
While Labor Day is officially behind us, you still have the chance to save big on travel before summer’s end. Right now, there are plenty of Labor Day travel deals to take advantage of: Some of the best promotions that are still live include $250 off select flight and hotel bundles at Priceline and cruises as low as $199 aboard MSC Cruises. You can also score discounted luggage, including up to 37% off at Samsonite, so you can give your next adventure the first-class treatment.
Summer might be the season of nonstop travel, but whether you save 25% on an upscale Miami hotel hotel or take 30% off a cozy weekend getaway, now’s a great time to fill up your fall schedule for less. Make sure to read the fine print, since some deals are limited to certain dates or routes. Most of these sales and promotional offers are ending soon, so we recommend acting sooner rather than later.
