What is Travel Tuesday?

Travel Tuesday is a little-known, but valuable time of the year when you may find promotions and special offers on features typically included with travel, such as airfare, rental cars, and vacation packages. During this time, many businesses and operators offer special deals, making it an exciting time to save big on a coastal getaway. Remember that deals may vary, so take your time and search patiently to get the best offer!

Look for Travel Deals to the Outer Banks

Travel costs eat up much of that vacation budget, so we highly suggest starting here for your Travel Tuesday deal hunting. Discounts can come from any source, including discounted airline tickets, hotel and rental fees, bonus nights, and rental cars, so be mindful of where those deals may show up. Depending on where you fly in from, you can check into either Norfolk International Airport or Coastal Carolina Regional Airport, giving you more options in terms of deals.

One of the most important things you can do to find great deals is to make sure you’re notified before they happen. Many airlines and travel companies have newsletters and emails you can subscribe to for the latest information on deals and specials. Just remember to compare prices at checkout before paying, as there may be hidden fees or other charges that come later without warning. Many airlines, such as American, Delta, Southwest, and United, offer seasonal specials, so spend some time checking to see who has the best flight for you.
