Every day of the week, the routine of Travel-Dealz editors begins with combing through countless offers and suggesting them to our colleagues. After evaluating them, only the best deals make it on our homepage and into our newsletter. In this post, we want to shine a light on offers that were discussed, but ultimately disregarded. But just because we didn’t feel they would be interesting for a broader audience, it doesn’t mean that some people won’t cherish them.
In this section, you can’t expect our usual service – we will give one example for each deal. We can only give hints about details like availability, travel period, other origins/destinations or fare rules.
Table of Contents
€128 One-Night Cruise from Panama to Colombia
Royal Caribbean currently sells cabins for a one-night cruise between Colon, Panama and Cartagena, Colombia at a discounted price. If you want to get a taste of cruising or check out a suite on the Serenade of the Seas for a discounted price, you can easily do that next April.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: This is a very niche deal. It starts in a very small city, that is not a very popular destination itself, doesn’t even include the ride through the Panama Canal and – compared to the current prices for Caribbean or Mexican Riviera cruises – isn’t even that cheap.
FlyingBlue Promo Rewards November 2025
Air France and KLM regularly discount award pricing for FlyingBlue, with a new set of destinations receiving a discount each month. Naturally, business class awards are the most attractive redemption options.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: The reduced premium destinations are not much to write home about. The one-way flights to Washington come with a decent mileage price-tag, but €400 in taxes and surcharges. West African destinations like Accra and Conakry generally don’t do too well with our audience – and the Latin American destinations lack availability.
Radisson Southeast Asia & Pacific Mini-Sale
Radisson currently promises discounts of up to 35% for stays in 2026 in the Southeast Asia and Pacific region. The promotional rate even includes breakfast, but is non-refundable.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: There are several, and mostly are connected to Radisson’s misleading advertising. The sale only applies to select houses in the region, with less than 30 hotels actually participating. Our research showed that the discount is limited to 15% instead of the advertised 35%. And the worst thing is that the promotional rate is prepaid and non-refundable – which negates the long travel period. Who wants to prepay a hotel on the other end of the world ten months in advance?
10% Discount on Air France & KLM Flights from Spain
In addition to the €60 discount on departures from Germany, which didn’t make the site a couple of weeks ago, Air France also issued a 10% discount code on departures from Spain. It comes with a slightly longer travel period.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: The discount only applies to the airfare, which limits the actual discount – because taxes & surcharges make up the majority of the ticket price. So even when spending €900 on a flight, the discount turns out to be a measly €25 or less.
