Toronto

What if I told you that you could get a round trip flight to Toronto for as low as $162 dollars?? Welcome back to cheap flights and cheap sights everyone! Today we will be exploring what Toronto, Canada has to offer, on a budget.

Travelling abroad is normally quite expensive for an average person living in the U.S. thanks to the insane prices airlines will give you for roundtrip flights. But, on random occasion, a specific destination will have crazy cheap flight tickets for reasons like underbooking and technical errors. I am here to highlight one such destination and how you can turn travelling from being a headache into a relaxing experience.

The flight that I am analyzing today leaves from Laguardia (LGA) Airport and arrives in Toronto (YYZ). You can book this roundtrip flight for $162 if you book within a few days from this posting. There is a limited time frame in which you can book, which means you are limited to traveling between March-May or September-January. Usually these flights will cost $450+, so if you have been dreaming of traveling to Canada then keep reading on! (Deal courtesy of Scott’s Cheap Flights)

Note that the climate in Toronto is a bit colder than you might be used to in the States. Be sure to bring a coat and some boots if you are going in a colder season!

When you arrive in Toronto, you will need a place to stay. As always, I am here to find you a great Airbnb for you to book! Airbnb is much better than hotel stays, since you usually get a much more spacious living place for much less, along with a direct line to someone who lives in the area locally. This is great for if you have any questions about what to do and what to see.

I found this spacious ENTIRE condominium for just $75/per night! You get access to washer/dryer, a very nice bathroom, and modern aesthetics. From the page, “The condo is equipped with: wifi, 40” TV with cable and Netflix, washer/dryer, towels, linen, electric tea kettle, pots, cutlery – business or pleasure, you will absolutely love it and feel like home.” What a steal! Note that parking is not offered, however there is street parking close by. The location is also very good, right in downtown Toronto, close to Old Toronto. You will find that you are just a walk away from many city sights. 

When venturing further around the city, be sure to check out https://www.ttc.ca/Routes/index.jsp beforehand. Toronto has very suitable transit options, on top of a robust uber/lyft userbase!

For some good eats, check out Assembly chef’s hall! This place has about 14 stations, all headed by a different chef, which each serve a unique style of dish. The interior is spacious and luxurious, and you will be able to find delicious food of all types here! Everything from Japanese cuisine to traditional Canadian dishes can be found. It is definitely a neat vibe, and while the prices might not be super cheap, nothing is outrageous and it is worth the cost.

That’s all folks! Tune in next time for another neat place at a great price!

 

St. Thomas

From this title, I am sure many of you reading are quite confused. Where exactly is St. Thomas, and why am I talking about it? Well because I can get you a cheap trip there!! Welcome back to Cheap Flights and Cheap Sights!

Let’s start with the basics. St. Thomas is one of the U.S. Virgin Islands located in the Caribbean Sea. In fact, it is one of the largest of the islands there. When you are planning this trip, you should absolutely expect many beachy days, since the weather in St. Thomas is always warm and sunny. A chart of the climate is included below. Transportation on the island is very well established, with multiple ferrys and taxi systems in place. This will allow you to get around St. Thomas and explore the other islands with ease.

So about the flight… most flights to the virgin islands hit $550+ regularly. Good news! You can fly roundtrip out of many airports for under $300, and specifically if you can fly out of Miami you will only be paying $229 for the flight! The trip can be booked between the months of February to May and August to October. This means that even just a weekend trip would be affordable and feasible! Make sure you fly with Delta, American Airlines, or JetBlue. This way you will get the great limited-time pricing. This deal is courtesy of Scott’s Cheap Flights of course.

Once you arrive in STT airport, you are going to need a place to stay. AirBnb to the rescue! Here is a nice cozy villa available for rent. It is beautiful! Take a guess as to how much this would cost per night.

Private Room with Ensuite Bathroom.  Features queen sized bed, ceiling fan, A/C, large windows that let in plenty sunlight.

Large Kitchen

"See You Soon" Villa

Just $33 per night! That is an insanely good deal for this level of accommodation. And as far as I can tell, there are no drawbacks to staying here. You get one bed and 1.5 baths, wifi, parking, and and amazing location close to west beach! The owners have astounding reviews, so you can be sure that this a great place to stay.

For some great eats, head on down to The Twisted Cork Cafe! It is located centrally on the island and is one of the best restaurants you can eat at here. It has raving reviews and a great menu. Make sure you get a reservation, as The Twisted Cork Cafe is usually pretty busy.

That’s all folks! Tune in next time to get the deets on a new great travel deal!

Puerto Rico

What if I told you that you could get a round trip flight to Puerto Rico for as low as $128 dollars?? Welcome back to cheap flights and cheap sights everyone! Today we will be exploring what Puerto Rico has to offer, on a budget.

Travelling abroad is normally quite expensive for an average person living in the U.S. thanks to the insane prices airlines will give you for roundtrip flights. But, on random occasion, a specific destination will have crazy cheap flight tickets for reasons like underbooking and technical errors. I am here to highlight one such destination and how you can turn travelling from being a headache into a relaxing experience.

To start, let’s look at that flight again. It departs from Atlanta, and yes, it really is just $128 roundtrip!! Your trip can be booked at this price between February-May and September-November. Note that you will be flying into San Juan (SJU) so plan accordingly! This deal is, of course, courtesy of Scott’s Cheap Flights.

Once in San Juan, you can definitely take off a layer or two! In the summer months it will get hot, and in the winter it will stay pretty warm. Make sure you bring an umbrella or a rain jacket, as you can expect rain for at least some duration of your trip!

Next, let’s get some accommodations. Get this: a one bed one bath studio close to everything you will want to do, with air conditioning and great parking, for just $45!! This is an insane price for somewhere to stay for a weekend trip. I highly recommend looking into staying here, since the hosts have good ratings and you can expect a lot out of this little apartment. It is in a beautiful spot, and is just a two minute walk from the beach. Everything is very clean and nice, and there is a good kitchen for making breakfast before you head out each day.

Some recommendations on what to do once in Puerto Rico include visiting the bio luminescent bay in Vieques! This bay is just a ferry trip away, and is one of the coolest sights you can see in the territory. I mean just take a look!

Mosquito bay bioluminesces due to a special organism in the water. The Guinness world record book also named it the brightest in the world! Just make sure to go at night, and a full moon is the best time to see it. Check the tide times before you go too, since those will also affect how it looks.

London

When a roundtrip flight from NYC to London is just $317 (regularly $850+), why WOULDN’T you book a trip?? Welcome back to cheap flights and cheap sights everyone! Today we will be exploring what London has to offer, on a budget.

Travelling abroad is normally quite expensive for an average person living in the U.S. thanks to the insane prices airlines will throw at you for roundtrip flights. But, on random occasion, a specific destination will have crazy cheap flight tickets for reasons like underbooking and technical errors. I am here to highlight one such destination and how you can turn travelling from being a headache into a relaxing experience.

I like to recommend staying in an Airbnb during your stay, since they are usually great quality, extremely affordable, and often give you more of the “local experience” of the area you travel to. Let’s take a look at this cozy home located in central london:

Building

Living room and relax area. Tv, Netflix, WiFi, electric piano, dining table.

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/40352945?adults=2&check_in=2020-10-23&check_out=2020-10-26&source_impression_id=p3_1581053923_3%2BRsliKUqYu6UeIo

This stay includes a room with a double bed and a private bathroom, along with access to the kitchen. For just $45 A NIGHT!!! And, the owner of this place is quite nice and offers a 5 euro full English breakfast experience!! Definitely worth taking them up on that offer. Plus, if you are looking for a tour guide, the owners even offer 80 euro day tours of London Sunday to Wednesday. Make sure to ask them about this too!

This room is very close to Abbey Road and many other popular London tourist destinations. Most of these are free sights anyways and including them in your trip is up to your discretion, so I will not be going into details about that here. However, when in London you must always be aware of the climate! Included below is a chart of each month of the year. Notice that in the winter it can get a bit chilly, and the summer months aren’t too warm. London is known for its rain, so remember a rain jacket or umbrella!!

When you get hungry for a bite, check out The Railway Pub! It is just a walk away from the above mentioned Airbnb. The Railway serves traditional pub food, including fish and chips. They also have a brunch menu if you are looking for a nice brunch place! They also boast once hosting Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones, which is such a neat piece of history. Prices are good and there is a good variety of food offered here.

That’s all folks! Until next time, happy travels!!
