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.

China Southern to Papua New Guinea
China Southern delighted us with many great offers this week, but their current sale for tickets to Papua New Guinea’s capital, Port Moresby, is the most unusual of the bunch. Itineraries with just one stop are super rare to such a remote and low-demand destination. While you can fly from many airports in Europe, the cheapest tickets are available from London at £524 (~€603).
Reason it wasn’t on the site: Even though there isn’t a war ongoing, Port Moresby’s general safety level falls in line with the past weeks’ entries of Tel Aviv and Mogadishu. It is still a very high price for a destination that will probably garner lots of attention, but very low booking numbers.
$25 Discount in Priceline Blind Booking
The Express Deals from US booking portal Priceline are usually a great way to save money on hotels and add a little excitement to your booking, since you won’t know which hotel you might score.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: While we pondered pushing this coupon to the home page, there were two factors holding us back: The short travel period (merely eight weeks) and the high minimum spend of $200.
30% Off Hertz Oneway-Rentals to Florida
Car rental company Hertz gives a discount on one-way rentals to Florida, for pick-ups until February 2026. If you are planning a road trip through the US, it might be a decent way to save money – given your journey ends in the Sunshine State.
Reason it wasn’t on the site: Apart from having a very niche target audience, it is not even the best offer we’ve seen in the past month for that very audience. The last time, Hertz waived the usually very high one-way fee and gave a decent discount on top.
