Q: How do I find the best deal on a package?

A: Travel deals are constantly changing and we always show you the best available package prices that we can negotiate with our partners. The search results are based on your preferences. By making modifications to your criteria (e.g., changing dates, airports, or selecting a different fare type) you may see better deals. Keep in mind that the middle of the week is generally considered an off-peak travel period. So if you search Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, you'll probably find lower fares and rates than if you search weekends.

Depending on how flexible you are, you may want to consider different cities. For example, if you're just looking for a warm-weather getaway on the West Coast, search Los Angeles and San Diego.

The more flexible you can be with your travel schedule, the more great deals you have available to you.

Q: Are taxes and fees included in the package prices?

A: Yes. The package price quotes you see are the final prices (in U.S. dollars), including all taxes and fees.

Note that each hotel may have its own additional charges -- for example, parking (which can run $10-25 or more, depending on the city), resort fees or convention fees. You need to pay any such fees directly to the hotel (usually at check-out time). We recommend that you contact your hotel directly to inquire about any additional charges.

Q: What is a Hotwire Top Pick?

A: It's one of our best vacation values. Expect a 3-star hotel (or better) at a deeply discounted price.

Q: How can I see the results for various searches I've tried?

A: If you've recently conducted more than one search, you'll see a section on the left side of your Search Results page called "Recently Viewed Packages." Check this area to see the results of your previous searches.
