What Are Hot Week Vacations?  happytravelgirl

Hot weeks are designed to give folks who can take week-long vacations at a moments’ notice some of the best prices in the industry. The key to determining if hot week vacations are for you is flexibility.

  • Short Notice Flexibility: Hot week vacation deals for the upcoming week are usually posted anytime between Monday and Thursday. Departure dates are usually Friday or Saturday.
  • Location Flexibility: To get the best deals, travelers will need to watch for locations that may be appealing to them; however, traveling in this manner is not the time to be particularly picky, as you never know which venues will have great deals that pop up any given week.
  • Credit Card Flexibility: When a venue you’ve always wanted to visit pops up, you’ll need to have the funds available right then. And yes, when traveling, you use a credit card, not cash.
  • Bags Packed and Ready: By keeping an essentials bag packed with must-have items, you’ll be ready to simply throw in a few clothes and your medicines and ready to go. Being prepared is the key to being flexible. BTW, a pre-packed bag may be a decent place to store your passport.
  • Flexible Spirit: Let’s face it, the travel industry has taken a few hits lately. It is possible, therefore, to find a venue with a vacation home or unit that really is available, but the resort itself has closed. In this case, you will need to have packed your enjoyment and brought it with you.

Now if the above describes you, then you can find some incredibly sweet deals through a vacation membership with hot week vacation stays starting from $149 or $199 for seven days with the whole family or group.

But not everyone can find a hot week special on Thursday, pack the bags and be out the door on Friday or Saturday. True, you can find some really great prices at the last minute, but for some folks, they just aren’t feasible.

Not to worry. There are longer-range deals that may work better for you.

But if flexible is your travel style, then hot week vacations are an i-deal option for you.
