Spring travel is on the horizon. While we still aren’t making plans as freely as we used to, hotels, airlines, and cruise line discounts are plentiful right now—providing plenty of incentive to start thinking about future trips. Whether you’re considering a warm-weather getaway, a close-to-home weekend trip, or are ready to make big plans for 2022, here are the best travel deals to consider booking sooner rather than later—all of which have flexible cancellation policies, should circumstances change.

Wyndham Rewards members (another free program) are in for a month of booking bonuses starting March 3. Every Wednesday during the month of March, Wyndham will announce a new surprise for its members, with discounts on hotels in popular destinations and bonus point offers in the mix. Each deal will run for at least two weeks, so you have some time to take advantage and decide how best to use it.
The first to be announced: From March 3 to April 5, points purchases come with a 40 percent bonus, so you can quickly rack up points for future stays. Members can purchase a maximum of 45,000 points per year; if you purchase all of those during this promo, you’d get an extra 18,000 rewards points.
