Top 4 Travel Deals of the Week

Posted on January 2, 2021January 16, 2021

Hi everyone!

This is Alex and today I will present you my last summary of some nice travel deals. First of all I would like to wish you all a Happy and healthy New Year, and hopefully 2021 will be more kind to all of us and our travel plans!

I hope so much that the travel industry will gradually come back to normal, and at least on summer 2021 most people will be able to come to their dream destinations. Today traveling is not easy because most countries have major restrictions and require staying 14 days upon arrival or doing a Covid test.

In order to avoid a 14-days quarantine a good solution will be going to make a Covid test and present it upon arrival. For those who can’t live without travels, and for whom the Covid pandemic is not an obstacle, I made a summary of amazing travel deals. The best source to find last deals is the Scyscanner, and you can always monitor it. Let’s dive in and see what I have found for you.

New York – Reykjavik from $416

Iceland nowadays is one of the most popular trip destinations after the 2008 crisis. According to statistic the number of foreign tourists visiting Iceland each year is about 2 millions. The country is not cheap at all, and if you like to make a trip there, the winter months are the most affordable.

If Iceland is your dream destination or you love nature, hiking or surreal landscapes, there is an amazing offer to make a trip to Iceland from New York to Reykjavik from $416 round – trip. This price is available for the following dates: 3 -7 or 4- 11 February.

Until the January 15th Iceland is closed for visitors, and after this date, if you plan a trip to Iceland, you will be required staying under the quarantine for 14 days, or you can undergo a test for Covid on arrival to Iceland and again after 5 days. For more detailed information you can visit their official website.

Iceland is such a paradise for those, who likes nature. The best way to discover the island is renting a car at the airport. There are many companies that provide a car rent – Europcar, Hertz, AVIS, Budget etc. The most popular tourist route in Iceland is the Golden Circle, and you will be able to see the Gullfoss waterfall, Pingvellir National Park, Geyser Strokkur.

In a winter months you can also find the most affordable accommodations in Iceland but in the summer it is hard to book something cheaper than $100 for a single room. I found for you on Booking.com The REK Inn Hotel for just €41 for a double or twin room with private bathroom. You can also book cheaper options such as Lækur Hostel for €22.

Dallas – Lima, Peru from $191

For those, who likes the warm countries and explore the ancient civilizations, there is an awesome offer to fly from Dallas to Lima from $191. The following dates are available in February 2021 for this price: 1-8, or 3-8. Entering Peru will be available after January the 6th.

Peru has now the moderate restrictions and quarantine is not required. But you need to have a medical certification with a negative Covid Rt-PCR test result issued at most 72 hours before departure.

The main touristic sight, which attracts millions of tourists from around the world is Machu Picchu. The distance from Lima to Machu Picchu is 312 miles and it will take quite a few steps to make a trip to the one of the unique and spectacular archaeological attractions in the world.

There are three opportunities to get to Machu Picchu – by bus, by plane or by bus. Experts recommend going by bus, because you will gradually get used to the changes of altitude. There are two best bus companies in Peru – Peru Hop Bus and Cruz Del Sur Bus.

Los Angeles – Puerto Vallarta from $204

You can make a nice trip from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta, one of the most popular Mexican resort for just $225 for the round trip. These dates are available for this price: February 17 – 23. Currently Mexico has a moderate restrictions and quarantine is not required. But you need to complete a form and present it upon arrival.

Puerto Vallarto will be an awesome place to spend your vacation, especially in a winter months. The city has a different zone – Centro, which is divided into Old and Romantic zone – the popular area with a large LGBT community, Conchas Chinas and the Hotel Zone. 

The best things to do in Puerto Vallarto are go walking, relax on Playa las Gemelas, watching sunset, join a food tour, visit the Church of our Lady of Guadalupe, go scuba diving and many more. Booking.com offers amazing discounts on housing in Puerto Vallarta now: you can book the Habitacion para Viajeros apartment for just $18 for one-bedroom apartment per night!

This option will be awesome for those, who are looking for a longer stay in the area, such as digital nomads.


Chicago O’Hare – Tenerife from $556

This is unbelievably low price for such a long distance! You can book your trip to Tenerife for these dates: February 3 -17. For most Americans Canary Island would sound as an exotic destination because they used to spend their vacations on Caribbean or Hawaii.

Canary Islands are the part of Spain and they have now major restrictions. All travelers must have a medical certificate with a negative Covid RT- PCR test taking at most 72 hours before arrival. Passengers must complete an “FCS Health Control Form.

Tenerife has a mild climate and temperature doesn’t go below +18C and in summer it is about +29C. Playa de Las Americas is the most popular resort on the south coast. It is always warm there because the mountains protect the city from wind. There are lots of modern hotels and entertainment for every taste: catamaran rides, noisy parties and gatherings at the bar.

In Playa de Las Americas I have found a nice offer on Booking.com – for just €36 you can book the Apartamentos Borinquen. For this awesome price you will get the entire studio with private bathroom, kitchen and 2 single bad.The rating is 8 out of 10, and people say that it is very clean and has nice location.

While preparing for your next trip make sure you have all the necessary travel accessories.

    I didn’t know that Iceland is one of the most popular traveling destinations in the world, that was a surprise for me. It looks like an interesting place to visit.
    I’ve been to Peru and Puerto Vallarta. Vallarta is very nice, and Peru was amazing. I went to Machu Picchu and it was such a beautiful experience! I’ll never forget it.
    Is traveling cheaper now because of covid? These deals are really good.

      Hi Christine!
      Thank you for the comment!
      Iceland became a popular tourist destination after the 2008 crisis, all prices in Iceland suddenly dropped, and the country is more affordable for tourists now.
      Yes, I think travel agencies make the prices lower because of the pandemic in order to survive. Hopefully it will be better in 2021!
      Wow, you have been to Peru! It is on my bucket list!

    Thanks for sharing the locations with dates, this helps in planning my trips. Pandemic did affect my travel plans and as you rightly said, travelling has become cumbersome with restrictions, quarantines and tests.

    That said I am looking forward to visit Machu Picchu in Feb. Before reaching to Machu Picchu we have to pass through Aguas Calientes – I have heard this is an ideal base before you plan your hike to Machu Picchu. Can you provide me price details on 3-4 star hotels around Aguas Calientes? Any idea on restrictions around this place ?

    Also regarding the offer to fly at $191 – Is that American Airlines or Delta ? I look forward to your response so that can I start planning my journey.

      Hi Satz!
      Yes, Aguas Calientes is the best base on your way to Machu Picchu. Booking has great prices for accommodations in Aguas Calientes for February: for example you can book a twin room in the Serk’ana Suite Hostal for just 22usd per night-this is the 3star Hotel, or a deluxe room in the Hostal El Mirador for only 28usd per night!
      The flight tickets for this price advertised on Scyscanner were by Spirit Airlines!
      I wish you a wonderful flight to Peru!
