Research destinations with all-inclusive resorts and read the fine print. Some resorts will include airfare from anywhere in the world, airfare from only certain international cities or no airfare at all. These details could significantly affect the price of the trip.
Call the resort to ask a representative about their busy season and weather, to determine the best time of year to schedule your trip. Find out if prices change at different times of the year.
Do your homework on pricing once you have selected your resort. Contact a travel agent to see if they can find a better rate using their back-end system. You can also call the resort directly to ask if they have any unpublished discounts or specials, such as AAA, AARP, student or military discounts.
Check airline flight schedules and prices if airline tickets are not part of your package.
Reserve your all-inclusive trip and save all of your confirmation numbers and trip information in one place so you can easily refer to them.
Verify your travel plans a few weeks before you are scheduled to leave and check to see if there are any new promotions or specials available. You can always call your travel agent, or the resort directly, and ask them to honor these promotions and specials.
