Press Release Summary: Travellers Can Save Up to 60 Percent on Hotel Deals and
Vacation Packages this Fall

Press Release Body: October 2008 - Travelzoo (NASDAQ: TZOO), a global Internet media
company, today released tips and recommendations to help Americans experience a
hassle-free and affordable fall getaway.

The expert tips developed by Travelzoo's producers are so easy to remember Travelzoo
named them the "ABC's of Affordable Fall Travel". In addition to the expert tips and
recommendations, Travelzoo's producers also selected the best fall travel deals. To
get inspiration and travel ideas for your fall getaway visit www.travelzoo.com/falldeals.

"Fall is one of the best times to travel because the weather is good in most
destinations and the summer crowds are gone from resorts and hotels," said Gabe
Saglie, senior editor at Travelzoo. "We are seeing hotels and vacation packagers
reduce rates up to 60 percent for fall travel. Whether it's a football game, fall
foliage road trip or a European getaway, autumn offers travellers plenty of
activities to take advantage of."

Below are some of Travelzoo's tips and recommended travel deals for affordable fall
holidays :

# Always be prepared - Travellers can't control the weather, but they can be
prepared and equipped to deal with a flight delay or cancellation. Fliers will find
it helpful to have contact information for the airline and hotel in case plans and
activities need to be rescheduled.

# Book a package or all-inclusive - Bundled vacations take advantage of lower resort
rates. Cruise vacations and all-inclusive resorts mean more value for your vacation.
Super Clubs Resorts have announced a huge fall sale at four of their all-inclusive
resorts in Jamaica starting at just $99 per person, per night. This includes all
meals, snacks, unlimited premium brand drinks, water sports, activities, transfers,
taxes and gratuities.

# Cushion in extra time - With airlines introducing schedule changes this month,
odds are there are going to be some hiccups in the system. It's always best to leave
in enough time for the unexpected, especially when travelling to the southeast or
Caribbean during hurricane season.

# Deals are king - Travellers looking to be inspired this fall should check online
for travel deals. With the Internet at their fingertips, consumers can find deals
well in advance or even a few days away. Travelzoo found great deals on eight New
York City Broadway shows including "Legally Blonde" and "Phantom of the Opera".
Broadway fans can find tickets starting at just $45.

# Europe is actually a possibility - The dollar is showing signs of strengthening
against the Euro and Europe drops prices for the off-season in fall. European
countries such as Ireland and Italy are surprisingly affordable this fall. Aer
Lingus Vacation Store has a 6-night air and hotel package for just $699 this fall.
This package includes hotel stays and transfers to four Irish cities, car rental,
daily breakfast and a discount book with over $500 in savings.

# Flexibility is key - Travellers who are able to remain flexible with their
destination or date of travel have access to more affordable vacation options. Since
many packages require travel within a certain window of time, flexible consumers can
be inspired by some fantastic fall deals.

# Go early - The first flight in the morning is the best flight to be on as
consumers don't have to worry about an incoming plane. Early morning flights have
the best on-time performance; however, should a plane be delayed fliers have more
options throughout the day to deal with possible cancellations and delays.

# Hold out for hotel deals - Hotel and resort rates will continue to drop in an
effort to entice Americans to travel and offset the higher airfare prices. We're
already seeing hotel deals at over 60 percent off. Marriott just announced a
nationwide sale that offers an additional 20 percent off their already reduced
weekend rates. The Courtyard Marriott in downtown Orlando is offering rooms for just
$67 per night and the Courtyard Los Angeles in Beverly Hills is offering rooms for
just $175 per night.
