Here is an example: March 16-22 on Expedia(hotel/flight combo) non-stop flights= $2829.80 March 16-22 non-stop flight on Delta= $1314.80 March 16-22 room with Alpharooms= $1010.00 For a total cost of $2324.80 A savings of $505 when booking your room with Alpharooms as compared to booking together on Expedia. Man, what a difference from the $1470 we paid for the flight/hotel combo from September 23-28. A thousand bucks more to go there in March, ouch! And that was with an Ocean view Room! Now we have to settle for whatever Garden View room they choose to give us, and still pay $1000 more dollars.
1 Stop on AirTran would be $390 Per person $440 w/tx (US Airways was $100 more) #FL0868 Depart Minneapolis, MN (MSP) at 7:00 AM Arrive Atlanta, GA (ATL) at 10:35 AM #FL0046 Depart Atlanta, GA (ATL) at 11:45 AM Arrive Cancun, MX (CUN) at 12:29 PM
Just checked that out, I show a grand total of $1025.74 for the AirTran Flight with a layover in Atlanta both ways. I checked at airtran.com, what site did you find that price at? I also found an American Airlines that totaled $1048.00 with a layover each way too. But for an extra $290, we are almost inclined to pay the money for less hassle. But let me know which site you found the $880 total cost flight, thanks!
I went to www.bookit.com and they had a few different times and departures for that airlines and it goes up from there, quite a few though. I have used them a few times and there great and even better if you call them.
I got mine off of CheapCaribbean.com - I've used them before, and haven't had any issues. I just looked up bookit, and found the exact same thing for just $20 less. Every time I find the flight separate from Boston, it's ridiculous!
Depending on the time and day of the week will give you different results. Hands down the best prices for air travel I have found consistently has been through bookit. However I will be using Alpharooms for hotel from now on. Friends just got back from Cancun (didn't stay at TTR) and used alpharooms and it went without any issues at all. The thing was I always have been told you get the best prices booking them together which now I know isn't the case.
Here is another example: Ocean View Room with non-stop flight March 16-22 on Travelocity totals $2672.37. Non-Stop Flight with Delta is $1314.80. Ocean View Room with Alpharooms is $1875.79 For a grand total of $3190.59 from March 16-22. So in this case, you would save $518 by booking together on Travelocity.
First if you sign up on Twitter to follow Alpharooms, they send out discount codes. I just signed up and waiting… I think there are only 5 different types of rooms at TTR: Deluxe Garden, Deluxe Ocean, Jacuzzi Room, Drops of Love and the Temptation Suite. Both deluxe are the same except one may have a view, some room’s say they are but their stretching that truth a little. $800 difference between the 2 deluxe … I don’t think is worth it and that $800 could be used to upgrade your flight to first class or stay a couple extra days. If you add in one stop to the flight it will lower your travel cost in some cases by half. Redeyes will also save you quite a bit too and if you don't mind sleeping on the plane it makes it that much better.
And someone has got to tell me how Alpharooms has so many different room options: Double deluxe - $1010.09 Double superior - $1841.77 Twin superior - $1841.77 Double room - sea view - $1875.79 Twin superior -sea view - $2660.30 What the hell is a double deluxe? And why is it so cheap? When I book on USA sites, I have Garden View, Ocean View, and Jacuzzi Suite for my options, why does Alpharooms have 3 different Garden View hotel rooms?
