Matías Mute, co-founder of Promos Aereas and an expert in finding good prices, explains: “Flights to highly popular cities like Miami, Barcelona, Madrid or Rio de Janeiro always have good offers. Although some unpromoted destination always surprises, which is obviously one of the first that we share, since we know that these are points where it is usually difficult to find a price lower than the average.”
It also points out that the most tempting promotions are usually in competitive prices for assembled packages: air with hotel, and many times they have half board or full board, as may be the case of packages to Cancun or Punta Cana. Another tip: check the prices of multi-destination tickets, to know more than one destination with the same ticket.

Keys to take advantage of the benefits of Travel Sale 2024
Beyond being attentive to the dates of this new edition of Travel Sale, it is important some preparation in order to better take advantage of the offers and promotions that may arise during the week.
Here are some points to keep in mind.
1. How much does it cost: know the rates
As in any sales campaign and promotions, prices that have discounts are often indicated, but the reality is that if one does not know what the average price usually is, or the price prior to the promo, it will be difficult to know. whether it is really a good proposal or not.
Therefore, a few days before it is worth checking prices of those products that we would like to take advantage of: an air ticket to this or that destination, a stay in a certain hotel, a package or an excursion, for example.
In this way, the week of the event it will be easier to understand if the price offered it’s really convenient.
2. Have flexibility in dates and destinations
The more one can accommodate in terms of datesthe easier it will be to get better discounts.
Logically, it is also likely that there are more promotions for trips in low season than in the middle of peak season, when demand naturally gains momentum.
Sometimes it is enough to modify the planned travel date just a few days to achieve important improvements in rates.
The flexibility also applies to destinations: If you are open to different possibilities, you will be able to more easily take advantage of the destination that appears to have the most fare advantages.
3. Documentation and cards ready
An important point in these campaigns is check card limits in advance that we plan to use to pay.
Some offers have a limited time and if in the middle we need to make authorizations or increase limits in banks/credit cards, the opportunity may evaporate.
From the Atrápalo Argentina agency, Virginia Jouanny -Product and Marketing Director. she remembers to be alert to the “possibility of buy international trips in dollarsto save more”.
You also have to pay attention to the dates of expiration of travel documents, be they passports, DNI – remember, for example, that minors’ DNI require two updates – and visas, in relation to the date intended for travel.
4. Terms and conditions: pay attention to the fine print
It seems obvious but it is not: you have to carefully check what you are buying before making the final click.
Verify that the dates are correct and that the product is what we are looking for.
If air tickets are booked, for example, you have to check what does the rate includesuch as luggage – only carry on or also luggage in the hold -, seat selection or possibility of upgrade. In the case of hotels, yes they include breakfast or not, what is the type of room and the check-in and check-out times.
If packages are purchased, check if they include transfers to and from the airport, excursions, meals or other extra expenses that must be taken into account.
It is also important to know the exchange and return conditions or cancellation policies. Unforeseen events can always surprise.
5. Social networks and newsletter
In these times, be pay attention to social networks (Facebook,
It also helps to subscribe to newsletter of the Travel Sale and the participating companies: it is the possibility of quickly discovering the best proposals.
6. Air miles and financing
For those who have accumulated milesMatías Mute warns that “you can exchange or buy the remaining ones that allow us to reach our destination or reach another origin where the price is more economical”.
Also remember that there are usually several quota options, always for products within Argentina.
Opportunities in interest-free installments and discounts on the purchase are now a classic. traveler assistance. “Sometimes even with additional promotions, such as that it can be used for several trips, or several destinations,” adds Mute.
