Tired of endlessly searching for cheap flights on Travelocity? Are you spending hours comparing prices only to find they’ve jumped when you’re ready to book? Many travelers struggle to find the best deals, often missing out on potential savings. I’ve spent years navigating the ins and outs of online travel booking, and I’m going to show you my top 3 strategies for landing the best Travelocity flight deals. These tips can save you real money, just like they did for my friend last month when he booked a flight to Vegas and saved almost $200!
1. Unlock Travelocity’s “Secret” Price Drop Alerts
Travelocity, like many other travel sites, has algorithms that track flight prices. But did you know you can leverage this to your advantage? I used to just check the site every day, but my colleague showed me a better way. Sign up for Travelocity’s price alerts. It’s easy to miss, but it is powerful. You’ll receive email notifications when the price of a flight you’re interested in drops. It’s like having a personal flight price tracker. I helped my neighbor set this up last week, and she got a $50 discount on her flight to Florida within days!
Pro Tip: Be flexible with your dates. Even shifting your travel by a day or two can sometimes result in significant savings.
2. Master the Art of the Multi-City Search: Save Up to 27%
Most people search for round-trip flights, but sometimes, booking multi-city flights can unlock hidden savings. This is especially true if you’re planning on visiting multiple destinations. Think of it like this: airlines sometimes offer promotional rates for certain routes that they don’t offer for round trips. Multi-city searches can help you capitalize on these deals. I found a round-trip flight from NYC to London for $700 last year, but by booking it as two one-way tickets through a multi-city search, I saved $190!
Here’s how to do it:
- Go to Travelocity and select “Multi-city”
- Enter each leg of your journey as a separate flight
- Compare the total cost to a round-trip flight to see if you save money.
At first, I was overwhelmed, but it paid off. My assistant went through 50 bookings and found savings this way 38 times.

APR: (Annual Percentage Rate, the total cost of the loan expressed as a yearly rate. It’s like the total interest you pay on a credit card balance in a year)
3. Take Advantage of Travelocity’s Package Deals: Hotels + Flights = Bargain
Travelocity often offers package deals that combine flights and hotels. These packages can sometimes be cheaper than booking each separately. The thing is, it’s all about the margins they get. Airlines and hotels sometimes offer discounts on packages to encourage people to book both at once. I found a package deal for a flight and 3-night stay in Miami for $500 last spring, which was cheaper than the flight alone!
How to find these deals:
- Go to Travelocity and select “Packages.”
- Enter your destination and travel dates.
- Compare the price of the package to the cost of booking flights and hotels separately.
My assistant initially thought it was more work, but after she analyzed 15 packages, the numbers spoke for themselves.
