Flights

Why we like it

The cold weather version of Frontier's internet-breaking summer pass unlocks unlimited flights to both domestic and international Frontier destinations between Sept. 2 and Feb. 29, 2024, for a one-time fee of $299. Frontier serves more than 100 airports across the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Latin America, with new locations frequently being added to the lineup. This is cheaper than even the summer pass' debut price of $399 and its long-term sale price of $499.

Frontier also dropped a monthly pass that's free for the first month (aside from a $49 enrollment fee) and renews for $149 monthly after that. Your unlimited monthly pass begins the day you purchase it and runs for 30 days each period. Be sure to read the fine print before snagging any of the tickets.

Trains, cruises, and rental cars

Opens in a new window Credit: Norwegian Cruise Line Norwegian Cruise Line 35% off all cruises Get Deal

Why we like it

If you need a sign to book that cruise you've been talking about taking since last year, Norwegian Cruise Line's current deal is it. All cruises are currently 35% off, plus an unlimited open bar and free airfare for a second guest — and the genius part is that you two can split that cost. The Greek Islands, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the South Pacific, Greenland and Iceland, and Northern Europe are all options available between seven and 10 days, plus trips to Alaska and Hawaii. You'll also save with an unlimited open bar, plus discounted meals and WiFi. If you want to bring a friend, they'll receive free airfare.

Experiences

Why we like it

Vacation doesn't feel like vacation when you're trying to cram a theme park's full glory into a few short days. You can add three full days at Universal to your trip for free when you purchase tickets for two days (as long as they're all consecutive). That's five days for the price of two, so you can really take your time between Universal and Islands of Adventure — or even devote a whole day to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Regulars (or future regulars) at Universal Orlando can also get three months for free with the purchase or renewal of any annual pass.

Hotels

Why we like it

Joining Red Roof's free RediRewards program can make your lodging arrangements for any summer trip a whole lot cheaper. Members save an extra 15% on their stay when booked before Sept. 22, and can earn a free night's worth of points just for completing two separate stays. Pets also stay for free at all Red Roof locations.

Why we like it

Luxury and sustainability meet luggage, bags, and packing accessories at Paravel. The Ultimate Summer Sale is live through August 14, slashing 25% off everything from packing cubes to the beloved Aviator suitcase. Every Paravel product is designed with upcycled materials, which has helped the brand divert more than six million plastic water bottles from landfills and offset nearly 17,000 tonnes of CO2. Paravel's partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects has led to the planting of over 400,000 trees.
