NEW YORK, March 11, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Travelzoo (Nasdaq:TZOO), a global Internet media company, today revealed over 30 spring break travel deals priced at $500 or less. Travelzoo's editors report that prices have dropped to an all-time low for March and April, a time of year when they usually tend to peak. To find the latest spring break travel deals within the U.S. and abroad, visit http://www.travelzoo.com/springbreak.
"The deals we are seeing in the market have been exceptional over the past few months, but now we have seen prices dropping even lower," said Gabe Saglie, Travelzoo senior editor. "The spring break deals we've found prove that it's possible to get away for just $500, or even less. This is quite a contrast from the prices that we usually see when school is out and prices peak, so now is the time to take advantage of the lull in the travel industry."
Travelzoo discovered the best spring break values to be shorter getaways to warm weather destinations, ski resorts and even cruises. Some of the deals that Travelzoo's editors found for spring break include the following:
-- Key Largo Grande, a Hilton resort located in the Florida Keys,
is offering rates as low as $149, through April, as part of
their Winter Escapes promotion. The deal includes up to $200 in
resort credits. Luxury Resorts is also extending the Winter
Escapes credits at two of their Key West resorts, where midweek
stays in late April cost only $199 per night.

cruise to the Bahamas for only $189 per person. The deal
