I have been getting my discount travel reservations from those "name your own price" web sites lately. They really are a great way to find super discount travel reservations at popular locations. Right now, I am considering going to Las Vegas for a few days so I have put in a bid for a four star hotel for $25 per night. If that doesn't work, I will up the price of $35 tomorrow. Apparently, many of these "name your price" web sites require a 24 hour waiting period before you can request again. That is what I mean about needing to plan ahead for discount travel reservations. You will get the lowest price possible, but it may take a few days, maybe even a week. Be patient. I have had really great success with Priceline.com in particular. They get back to you right away with an answer. Just like the commercials say, I got discount travel reservations to Chicago and Springfield that blew away any online offer that I had found. You should really try it at least once. I think you will be hooked.
