Well, I’ve been planning a little getaway for the 4th of July weekend. And man, I gotta tell you, finding good deals this year was quite an adventure. I decided to write down everything I did, hoping it might be useful for someone else planning a vacation.
First, I started by checking out some websites to compare prices.

- I looked at a bunch of different sites to see what was out there. You know, just getting a feel for the prices.
- Then I used Google Flights to compare deals from different providers.
- I was surprised to learn that flights for the 4th of July weekend are actually cheaper this year. I read somewhere that they’re down by about 12%!
After comparing prices, I began searching for specific deals.
- I dug a little deeper and found some pretty sweet deals, both for flights and hotels.
- I even found some last-minute deals that were surprisingly affordable. It seems like many travel agencies were running some sort of promotion for Independence Day.
Then, I considered using vacation packages.
- I came across these vacation packages from Vacations by Marriott Bonvoy, which looked pretty tempting. I mean, who wouldn’t want to relax at a luxurious resort during the 4th of July?
Next, I researched destinations and their affordability.
- I spent some time looking into the top 4th of July celebrations across the US.
- I found a list that ranked them based on affordability, considering things like the cost of parking and such. This was super helpful!
Finally, I decided to just go for it.
- I checked out the deals on 4th of July flights, weighed my options, and made my choice. I don’t want to go into much detail about this, but I found a price that suited me.
- I ended up finding a really good deal for a nice beach destination. I’m pretty stoked about it, to be honest.
Conclusion
