Always looking for good deals on single supplements, which can be budget busters. Re: these smartour cruises you had mentioned, kind of a mixed bag for reviews:

Consumer complaints about smarTours

Any reduced or free single supplements are always worth checking out. Thanks for posting.

Default Greyhound Express $2 Roundtrip YMMV

Hopefully i'm not too late posting to City Data for this promotion from another person:

Greyhound Express $2 Roundtrip YMMV $1 each way between major cities on greyhound by booking 3 weeks ahead (promotional and for a limited time, so hurry). They're promoting their "Express" line which uses the newer buses with leather seats, wifi, more legroom. The "Express" routes don't stop at small towns so you get to your destination faster. They've always had a few schedules a day like this but now they've allocated the new buses to them. For trips closer than 3 weeks out, it's still significantly cheaper than before. However, can't beat one dollar each way!!
For example, you can go between Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, for $1 each way (normal price is $75 San Antonio to Dallas roundtrip). I think they have a certain number of tickets allotted for each price point. When it sells out at a certain price point, it steps up to the next one ($1, $5, $9, $20, etc)

Make sure the cities BOTH have word EXPRESS in search. "Dallas Express, TX" is not same as "Dallas, TX". I see lots of $1 dates.
Make sure you're using the link and searching EXPRESS schedules

https://www.greyhound.com/Express/Default.aspx


$2 Round Trip Bus San Diego/Los Angeles

I wanted to let you guys in So Cal know about Crucero-USA buses than run from Downtown LA to San Diego. And San Diego to Los Angeles

$1 each way. Must Book 7 days in advance. .99 cents 'convenience fee'. Hope that doesn't ruin the deal for you.

If $1 fares are not available, then the next available fare is $5 each way. Still a decent deal.

I've used these buses plenty of times. If you book through greyhound, you still end up in these buses. I found myself talking to people who paid 20 bucks or more for the same trip, same bus. They were shocked to find out that I only paid $1 each way.

USE a CREDIT CARD to check out. In my experience, they have trouble accepting debit cards.

wimdu.com is like airbnb.com.
Many of the accommodations are the same so people are registering on both.
Good prices in prime locations.



On a side note, I just got a 39Euro flight from Munich to London round trip.
The dreaded RyanAir.
If I don't feel like going, it's not a big enough loss to be worried about it.

I had been checking flights/hotels for February trip to Honolulu. Since I usually cruise, I checked them all,then decided to check on VacationsToGo website where I usually find good cruise prices. After a couple of weeks of this, I finally found one I could live with, and it happened to be with VTG..so I called to make the reservations,and the lady says, let me see if you found the best price..much to my delight, she said no, I see another price here! I got it for another $800. less than what I was willing to pay!
