Labor Day is here, and if you think the holiday sales are limited to home goods, clothes and trendy tech, think again. Right now, there are dozens of Labor Day travel deals worth checking out, too. Some of the best ones we’ve spotted so far include up to $250 off select flight and hotel bundles at Priceline and cruises as low as $199 aboard MSC Cruises. There are also plenty of luggage deals, like up to 15% off at Away, so you can give your next adventure the first-class treatment.
Summer might be the season of nonstop travel, but whether you save 25% on an upscale Miami hotel hotel or take 30% off a cozy weekend getaway, now’s a great time to fill up your fall schedule for less.

Many of these discounts expire within the next day or two, so we suggest booking quickly before the sales are over.
