Luxury Travel: Try Private Sales

If you are a luxury traveller who has not tried private sales as yet, then you have been missing out on the ultimate luxury shopping experience. Today, you will find several private sales opportunities available if you know where to look; for instance, the private sales site Jetsetter.com will give you an idea of how much you can get from such sales.

Jetsetter is an online community for luxury travellers, where you will find the best deals and expert information on everything from luxury vacations to hotel rooms. The only downside is that Jetsetter sales last only one week and those who come first are served first.

Jetsetter private sales include luxurious five-star hotels, resorts and cruises all over the world. If you like a trip, but have not yet decided whether to purchase it, you can pay just 10 percent of the total amount and keep it on hold for 72 hours until you make up your mind. At the end of the 72 hours, you can either purchase the luxury trip or have your money refunded in the form of Jetsetter credits.

For those luxury travellers who still do not have an inkling of what I am talking about, let me start with the basics. Private sales sites are recent entrants into the luxury travel industry. They are associated with resorts, cruises, luxury hotels and travel companies all over the world, owing to which they have access to unsold rooms or trips, which they sell online at a heavy discount. Sometimes the discount is as large as 70 percent. Jetsetter.com is not the only major private sales site around; and if something about Jetsetter does not appeal to you, you can always try Voyage Prive or Sniqueaway.

You can join a private sales site absolutely free of charge, after which you can either request email updates or login regularly to get the best hotel rooms, cruises, trips, safaris and even golf vacations at top destinations around the globe.
