August has just begun and with it comes the final hurrah of summer—but the savings aren't stopping yet for eager travelers looking to end this season on a high note. This month we're seeing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity courtesy of a Marriott and Blade collaboration, where guests who book suites in New York City can avoid the traffic by hitching a complimentary ride on a helicopter to and from the airport. For travelers still looking to beat the heat, head across the equator with Air New Zealand's offer of round-trip flights for as low as $998 to some of Australia's most popular cities—Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne—from LAX and SFO.
There are also opportunities popping up to save on future fall and winter departures. Uniworld is offering major savings on cruise fares for two guests—this includes the line's summer itineraries and their holiday cruises like the Classic Christmas Markets cruise from Nuremberg to Frankfurt. For those looking to see the Northern Lights during Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's, Scandinavian Airlines is offering round-trip flights under $400 to Iceland on flights booked from November 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. Before we wrap up summer, there are still a ton of deals to take advantage of this month.

New York City traffic is no joke, and between that, congestion pricing, and airport fees, just getting to and from the airport can be the most stressful part of any trip. A new collaboration between Marriott International’s Luxury Group and Blade, an urban mobility platform, has made it possible for travelers to cut their airport commute down to as little as five minutes. Those who book suites across Luxury Group properties in New York City will receive complimentary helicopter transfers as an exclusive perk. These properties include The Ritz-Carlton, Ritz-Carlton Reserve, St. Regis, W Hotels, The Luxury Collection, EDITION, JW Marriott, and Bvlgari Hotels. Guests will also be able to attend pop-up events at the Blade lounges across Manhattan this summer.
To escape the heat, travelers should consider heading “down under” to Australia (where it's much cooler this time of year). Starting July 23, travelers can book round-trip flights from destinations like Los Angeles or San Francisco to Sydney starting at $998. Travelers can also head to Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, or Aukland as their final destination.
