Air/Hotel Package through Orbitz for less than the hotel alone.

[Wyotraveler]

Hi All

 

I have been looking at vacation packages for New York City, as I have a few days of "use or lose it vacation time" to burn before October 4th. In any event for the past few days, I have been researching a number of sites including Priceline, Expedia, Marriott, and United to name a few.  I was really looking to stay below $2000 and on Saturday I thought I had something for around $1400 or $1500 on Priceline for the same hotel listed below (very much excited). This did not work out, as I got an error telling me that all rooms for the hotel at this price were sold (very much bummed). Today I decided to look at Orbitz for kicks and giggles thinking that they would be more than my budget would allow, although that was not the case.  I was able to get a room at the Hilton Garden Inn New York/Central Park South-Midtown West, which looks like a nice hotel in a good neighborhood. My package included airfare from Casper, WY on United via Denver to LaGuardia. Below are the details of the air/hotel package I booked through Orbitz for less than the hotel alone.

 

• Orbitz air/hotel package        $1930.80
• Hotel via Hilton.com              $2038.45 (more than I paid for my package)
• Airfare via United.com           $425.15 (Orbitz promoted the airfare, as free and I guess they were right)
• Total for separate air hotel     $2463.60 
• Savings                                  $425.15

 

I also did a quick at Priceline for the same hotel/flights and I would have to pay $2090 ($160 more than my package). I am very happy with the price I paid and glad I researched one last sight.
