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
Oneworld Economy Sale to the USA from Madrid
Oneworld alliance members currently run a huge sale to many US destinations, available with departure from Madrid. Tickets start at €363. Flights are operated by American Airlines, British Airways and Iberia – and many tickets on sale are non-stop flights.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: If you don’t hold a Oneworld status, you’re already paying €482 for a ticket with hold luggage. Iberia’s premium economy sale running at the same time seems much better value-for-money to us. That’s why the premium economy deal made the site, and this one did not.
Carnival Alaska Cruises from/to California at €801pp
Carnival’s Carnival Luminosa spends April, May and June 2026 cruising between San Francisco and the Alaskan panhandle, capturing stunning landscapes while visiting cities like Ketchikan and the state capital, Juneau. All departures are available for less than €1,000 per person, starting at only €801per person for an inside cabin.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: On a route like this, you don’t want an inside cabin – there is simply too much to see, even when you minimize the time in your personal quarters. The other prices are decent too, but nothing headline worthy, resulting in a deal that barely missed the mark.
EasyJet Flights to Cabo Verde
EasyJet has lowered prices for flights from several European cities to the Cabo Verde islands, with tickets from Milan starting at €156.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: The quoted fare does not include a cabin bag or hold luggage. Adding either increases the price by at least €120, almost doubling the price. Given that this seems rather scammy and deals to Cape Verde are rarely well received, it landed here in a week that saw plenty of better deals.
High Discounts with High Minimum Spends
Lastminute.com and Camperdays.com both issued generous coupon codes this week, shaving a transparent, fixed amount off 2026 holiday or RV bookings. You can save €85 RV rentals and either £150, £250 or £350 off flight+hotel packages, depending on your booking value.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: While these may come in handy for people that wanted to book on these sites anyway, the minimum spend is too high in both cases. We cannot consider them a useful tool for a broader audience.

Deals that didn’t make it the site and can be found on the site 🤣
Yeah, but as 2 short paragraphs instead of as a detailed and extensive post.
Many thanks for the clarifications provided. Well appreciated!
Thanks for communicating this background info. Very interesting!
It’s something wrong with the Duolingo deal link
Hi Jakob, I’ve fixed the link. Thanks for noticing.
