This week the deals came in groups.
Not one new destination. Seven. Venice, Sydney, Manila, New Delhi, Mumbai, Montreal, Seoul — none of them had ever appeared in this newsletter before today. All seven hit the inbox in the same seven days. All seven are flagged LOW by Google.
We're leading with Venice.
🎯 DEAL OF THE WEEK: Venice, Italy (VCE)
$704 round-trip from San Diego
Some cities earn their reputation over centuries. Venice is one of them — and this week you can get there for $704.
That's 16% off. Google pegs the typical lowest fare for comparable Venice trips at $760. This fare sits below that floor.
The itinerary: Delta and Scandinavian Airlines · 2 stops · SAN → VCE · 20 hours · August 15–21
August in Venice. Eight days walking bridges that have been there since the 1500s. Cicchetti bars tucked into narrow calli. A gondola you may or may not actually take. The Grand Canal at golden hour when the light turns everything honey and you genuinely forget there are cities that aren't built on water.
Is it crowded in August? Yes. Is it still worth going when you've got a sub-$700 round-trip? Absolutely.
This Week's Honorable Mentions
Six more debut destinations. All LOW. All real. Pick your continent.
🦘 Sydney, Australia — $1,131 RT (SAVE 33%) · Dec 6–13 · Alaska · 1 stop · 32hr
The cheapest comparable trips to Sydney run $1,200 or higher. This one lands at $1,131 — 33% below what you'd typically pay. December in Sydney is summer: harbor swims, the Opera House in full sun, the city at its best while everyone else is buried in a North American winter.
🇵🇭 Manila, Philippines — $1,024 RT (SAVE 36%) · Dec 3–9 · Alaska + Asiana · 2 stops · 24hr
The biggest savings percentage this week. Manila in December is the Philippines at its most festive — Christmas lights on every block, mango season delivering fruit that makes you question every piece of fruit you've eaten before. Typical low for this route is $1,050. This is $1,024.
🇮🇳 New Delhi, India — $1,089 RT (SAVE 22%) · Jul 23–30 · American + Etihad · 2 stops · 33hr
Old Delhi's spice markets in the morning. The Red Fort before the heat peaks. Monsoon-season July means rain, heat, and the kind of sensory overload that genuinely rewires your brain. Google's floor for comparable New Delhi routes is $1,100. This lands at $1,089.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, India — $1,056 RT (SAVE 21%) · Jul 23–29 · American + Etihad · 2 stops · 32hr
Marine Drive at twilight with the entire Arabian Sea behind it. Street food that will recalibrate your entire palate. July is monsoon season — rain, heat, 22 million people living at full volume. Google's floor for comparable Mumbai routes is $1,100. This comes in at $1,056.
🍁 Montreal, Canada — $371 RT (SAVE 15%) · Nov 30–Dec 9 · Delta · 1 stop · 11hr
European streets. French food. Zero transatlantic time zones. Montreal in late November means the city is alive before Christmas locks in — outdoor rinks going up, raclette appearing on menus, the Plateau neighborhood doing what it does. Google's floor for comparable trips is $420. You can go for $371.
🇰🇷 Seoul, South Korea — $1,045 RT (SAVE 12%) · Jul 20–28 · United · 1 stop · 16hr
