Top 10 Fall Travel Deals

As the long days of summer grow short, my attention turns to the inevitable rusty oranges, mustard yellows, and chocolate browns of changing leaves, the smell of warm apple cider donuts, the need for a cozy cardigan thanks to the brisk chill in the air, and the anticipation of the approaching holidays. Fall, however, is more than jack-o-lanterns and harvests; it’s also a great time to save big on travel. And to show you what I mean, I’ve gathered the 10 best deals, in no particular order, to welcome in the season.  

Even if you don’t hit the jackpot while you’re in Las Vegas, you can still win big before you even arrive.

You must book by August 31 for travel before December 27. 

Virgin Vacations’ England Fly-and-Drive package starting at $549 per person (without taxes and fees) makes it easy to cross the Pond this fall.

If you’re looking for something a bit more tropical, Cheap Caribbean is offering Aruba vacation packages starting at $599.
