Travel expert Laura Begley-Bloom is here with some great destinations, some insider tips and ways you can save on your holiday vacation with those flight prices. skyrocketing this season. So Lauren, Laura, thanks so much for joining us to talk about this. Thank you for having me. So first, let's start with a big question here. A lot of people hitting the roads and the skies. Where can travelers find the best deals on their winter getaway trips right now? Well, if you're planning last-minute holiday travel or dreaming about next year's getaway, check out Priceline's Cyber Week sale, their biggest sale of the year. Starting November 23rd, you can save up to 60% on select vacation packages, up to 40% on hotels, and up to 30% on rental cars. And if you sign up to be a Priceline VIP member, you get extra money. Early access and keep an eye out for flash sales for an extra 40 percent off all the way through Travel Tuesday. Head to Priceline dot com slash Cyber Week or the Priceline app for all the details. It's a great time to get a jump start on 2027 travel planning. And some people may not want to go home this holiday season. Maybe they want to experience a destination rather than just see the sights as well. So why should we consider a guided tour? Well, I love Colette, which is a trusted travel operator in its 109th year. They design immersive tours across all seven continents, featuring expert guides, thoughtfully crafted itineraries, and a passionate travel team that takes care of all the details. Winter is an insider travel secret in Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America. Think fewer crowds and traveling like a local as you chase the northern lights, go on safari, or explore a new region in Italy. Really, for... Warm weather. Check out Hawaii, Portugal and Costa Rica. Colette has a Black Friday sale that begins November 23rd, offering up to 25% off tours worldwide. Visit GoColette.com to plan your trip or give the gift of travel. And question for you. Do you have a favorite guided trip that you'd like to share with us here on Fox Local? Oh, well, I mean, I think if you're going to Colette does a lot of really amazing trips and one place where they really excel, I think they excel everywhere, but is in Africa. Because when you're going on a safari, you really want somebody who can take care of all of the details that guide you and just pull it all together. So I say thumbs up for an African safari. And so traveling internationally can be overwhelming for some people. What else can travelers do to have some extra peace this season? Yeah, well, one thing I recommend is Medjet, which is the top-rated air medical transport and security response program for travelers. If you're hospitalized more than 150 miles from home, they move you to a hospital at home. Most travel insurance companies only get you to the nearest adequate facility. Personally, I would not want to be stuck in a foreign hospital. MedJet memberships are always affordable, starting at $99. But annual memberships are on sale on Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday, November 30th and December 1. And a heads up, prices are going up in 2027. So if you want, you can also lock in the sale price now and start your membership later. For info, visit MedJet.com. And you've given us so many resources here today. Thank you for that. Where can viewers go to find these deals, destinations, and some travel resources? Well, for more info, you can go to Priceline.com slash Cyber Week, GoCollect.com, and Medjet.com slash Cyber. Okay, thanks so much for joining us, Laura, to have this conversation. We hope you have a wonderful travel season, a wonderful holiday as well. Thanks, you too. Happy travels.
