New York, Hungary, Paris, Munich, Everyone’s Talkin’ Bout…Last Minute Holiday Travel Deals
Expert Flyer Hot Topics – Where the Rubber Meets the Runway
Our December Hot Topics series covers last minute – or even last second – travel deals that only come around once a year. Now that business travelers are taking a break and consumers redirect spending to gift giving, travel opportunities at home and abroad abound. We’ve got the skinny for you in three parts from our friends at TripTwit.com, Momondo.com and OrlandoEscape.com.
In the first installment of our Last Minute Holiday Travel Deal Series, we’d like to introduce you to TripTwit.com, an interesting free service we think you should know about. Just sign up and plug in your destination alerts – up to 20, and you will receive daily emails informing you of last minute deals from across the Twittersphere. We asked TripTwit CEO, Naveen Thattil, to share some hot deals to warm up your holiday getaway research. Bon Voyage!
“If there’s a great last minute travel deal, you can be sure people are talking about it on Twitter,” says Naveen Thattil. “We have found a way to cull the Twittersphere and extract the travel deals YOU are interested in from the millions of conversations that are happening daily, so you don’t need to worry about following thousands of Twitter accounts yourself. Here are some deals that are trending hot right now…get your bags packed and happy holiday travels!”
