Tons of Travel Deals Are Being Offered for Leap Year

Special discounts appear only once every four years.

As far as we know, nobody really plans special trips in honor of Leap Day. But that isn’t stopping hotels and airlines from offering discounts on or around Feb. 29—a day that’s on the calendar only once every four years, during leap years.

Earlier in the month, JetBlue offered a short-lived promotion with $29 flights for departures on Monday, Feb. 29. And while that deal has since expired, there are many hotels and booking sites pumping up sales timed to coincide with Leap Day. In some cases, getting the special rates requires that your trip actually takes place over Feb. 29, but in other instances you simply need to make reservations on Feb. 29 to snag the low prices—and travel can happen any time over the next few weeks or months.
