Top Travel Deals for February 2013

Kim's rounded up the hottest travel deals on FatWallet for you once again this month! Where in the world will she take us?

Ann, our social media superstar is currently planning her honeymoon and it's been fun to live vicariously through her as she searches out places for them to go. As a woman who was married eons ago, it's crazy to think back to our days of sitting in the travel agent's office with booklets of various destinations trying to decide where to go that would fit our budget. There was no FatWallet and we knew no ways of bargain hunting for travel deals.

Things are so much better now! Not only do we have great deals at our fingertips, we have an expert deal hunter willing to sort through them all and tell us which ones are the best value!

Looks like many of this week's hot deals are taking us to Vegas baby!

Travel insurance, as we mentioned in the past, is something people shouldn’t overlook if they fit a certain demographic. I didn't know about it way back in the day of planning our honeymoon.

I reached out to our merchant partner, AllianzTravelInsurance, for some guidelines and tips we should know about purchasing travel insurance. Here's what they had to say:

Trip insurance is a good idea, especially if you're planning to spend more than $500 on your vacation. Trip Insurance is usually about 5% - 10% of the total cost of your trip, and will give you peace of mind in case something goes wrong. Purchasing travel insurance outside of your cruise or tour company also typically provides better coverage at the same or lower cost. It's great for those last minute buys you can get on daily deal sites!

Here's the link to check out, AllianzTravelInsurance. They're the global leader in travel insurance and assistance. But what we love about their service is that they cover kids age 17 and under free of charge, and they give a free 10 Day look (if you haven't left for your trip, of course!). Quotes are free.
