The Click Frenzy Travel sale is about to kick off, with hundreds of deals up for grabs. But there’s one saving that trumps them all.

Travel Deal Tuesday: Some of the best deals from the Click Frenzy sale

If you’re looking at your diary and can’t help but notice there’s not a lot of holiday leave booked in until Christmas, today might be the perfect opportunity to start taking some annual leave.

The Click Frenzy Mayhem kicks off tonight and may well give you a good excuse to rip out the credit card and passport.

Click Frenzy Travel, the shopping bonanza for travel deals, will go live at 7pm with dramatic discounts on all things travel related up for grabs. The sale will hang around for 29 hours, finishing at midnight on Wednesday, August 21.

We’re talking more than 600 heavily discounted deals on flights, hotels, tours, travel insurance, rental cars and travel-related items like luggage.

One of the best deals is a trip to Fiji.

Participating brands include Webjet, Virgin Australia, Air New Zealand, TravelOnline, Malaysian Airlines, Luxury Escapes, Intrepid Travel, Blue Lagoon Cruises, Accor, Skyscanner, Qantas Loyalty, G Adventures, Hawaiian Airlines and Flight Centre.

Also, in a Click Frenzy Travel first, there will be insane 99 per cent off “Go Overboard” deals. A few deals that shoppers can expect in limited quantities include $500 Flight Centre vouchers for just $5, $250 Beats headphones for $2 and incredible holiday packages from TravelOnline for less than a McDonald’s family feed.

Click Frenzy managing director Grant Arnott said this sale would be one of the most popular ones yet, with around one million visitors expected to log on during the event.

“Our epic travel sales are gaining cult-like status among travellers, and the feedback we’re receiving is that the deals just keep on getting better,” he said.

“We’re expecting up to one million visitors to this bonanza, all desperate to snap up deals from outstanding renowned local and international brands. The majority of these deals are also exclusive to our sale and will not be found elsewhere.”

Virgin Australia will have some flights on sale at 40 per cent off.

TIPS FOR SURVIVING CLICK FRENZY TRAVEL

A sale like this can be overwhelming, so Webjet Exclusives general manager Brendan Sawyers has shared some insider tips on how to snag the best deal.

“The biggest sales are usually seen in destinations that have increased competition,” he said.

“So, places like the Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam, which have lots of new hotel properties coming online, has led to really competitive price points in these regions.”

The Click Frenzy Travel sale will start at 7pm tonight.

He said destinations that relied on tourism from Australia, such as Bali, were also likely to have great deals to keep the year-round flow of Aussie holiday-makers.

HOW CAN SHOPPERS PREPARE

To take part in the sale, shoppers need to be a member of Click Frenzy. It is free to sign up.

Having membership means early access, meaning you will get to see all the deals 30 minutes before everyone else.

Stock levels will be limited for many of the deals, so you will need to get in quick.

“Before diving into Click Frenzy Travel, people should consider how much they want to spend and try working their budget back to a cost per day,” Mr Sawyers said.
