Travel companies gear up for Cyber Monday bookings
Travel companies are ready for a busy post-Thanksgiving break, with many launching Cyber Monday promotions.
Delta Vacations is running an agent incentive, offering $400 off clients’ travel and earning 23,000 bonus Delta SkyMiles, on flight and hotel packages at selected Iberostar properties in Mexico, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, as well as Hard Rock Hotels in Mexico and the Dominican Republic.
The sale runs until midnight on Tuesday, December 3, for travel between January 1 and March 31, 2014.
"This is a huge savings opportunity for our travel agents and their clients," said John Caldwell, president of MLT Vacations, which operates Delta Vacations.
"Earning 23,000 Delta SkyMiles is almost like getting a free flight with each booking, and a truly great way to start planning their next vacation!"
