FLY THE COOP FAST
If you’re planning to set off for an adventure right away, try the GTFO (Get The Flight Out) app.It lists the cheapest roundtrip flights departing from your local airport that day or by the next morning. At press time，airfare was down 12 percent from last August and roundtrip tickets for domestic flights averaged $ 218.
SNAG A DISCOUNTER HOTEL ROOM
If Airbnb isn’t your style, reserve markeddown accommodations on Tingo.com, which lists almost all the rooms in more than 155，000 locations worldwide.After you book a Price Drop room，the site monitors rates until，typically，24 to 48 hours before checkin.If the price drops，Tingo refunds you the difference.
LIVE IT UP LOCALLY
If you’re planning a staycation(宅度假) this winter，try an affordable escape close to home.The free app HotelTonight offers lodging(旅馆) deals in more than 100 U．S.and Canadian cities and regions, and has a locationbased feature that gives extra savings on already discounted prices on spots closest to you.Sameday prices fall even lower after 6 p．m.
