When booking travel, you often have to decide if you want to plan ahead and book early or hold out for an eleventh-hour offer. This week, you don’t have to choose. We have deals on last-minute sporting savings as well as significant discounts for summer and fall travel.

Final Four Atlanta Hotel Deal

It’s the peak of March Madness and the Final Four is almost here. This year, the games are being played in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome.

Orbitz knows fans want to be there to celebrate the game. Looking at the data, Michigan is currently in the lead with more fans booking travel.

The good news is that there are still deals to be had in Atlanta. Orbitz Senior Editor Jeanenne Tornatore recommends looking outside of metropolitan Atlanta to find hotels for under $100.

In nearby suburbs including Galleria/Smyrna/Marietta, rates are around $130 a night. By the airport rates are $110 per night.

Though your bracket may be busted, you can still take 15 percent off hotels for Orbitz with promo code MarchBBall15.
