Travelzoo

For my first blog entry in my life, I would like to talk about the app. called “Travelzoo”. I came across this app. over the summer while interning with Regan Communications Group in Rhode Island. While sitting around the table for lunch, Larisa Kupris, who was my boss, was just naming off a bunch of great deals for vacations spots. As she named one deal after another, I knew I had to have it with Spring Break 2013 just around the corner! I downloaded it right then and there. I have to say I am quite impressed with the app. I still have it downloaded and plan on using it in the near future for booking my spring break vacation. 

When you start up the app. you are at the “Home” which lists the “Top 20”, “Local Deals”, “Deals in Other Cities”, “Travel Deals and “Deals on Map”.  

The “Top 20” is the most popular deals going like a $99 three night getaway to Las Vegas with air!

 “Local Deals” allows you to select by city. I like this feature especially if you are on a trip and are looking for even better deals where you are! 

“Deals in Other Cities” is repetitive because it is the same thing. This is one part of the app I would like to see change. There really is no use for it. 

“Travel Deals” breaks it down into airfare, hotels, cruises and so on. This way if you are looking for a specific type of vacation or just entertainment around the area, you are able to get right to it. Simple and fast. 

Now the “Deals on Map” is a bit overwhelming. Right away you and engulfed with a map of the world and pins placed every where. All you have to do, is zoom into an area and click one of the pins to find the deal of a lifetime.

 A few other features are you can sign up with the app. and receive vouchers to use on the deals and you can go into settings to change the country you are located in at that time. 

Overall, I highly recommend the app. for those of you who like to travel on a great deal. You can find anything from a car rental to airfare at very reasonable prices. Be careful to make sure that airfare is included and vice versa with a hotel. Sometimes I find myself getting severely exited over a deal that does not include airfare. For instance, it just happened. My dream city to travel to is Rome, Italy. The deal was three hundred and three dollars meals included but it was just the hotel. So that is my one warning to all who decide to download this wonderful app. Other than that, it is the perfect application to find deals that are right for you!
