O.A.T. releases unsold places on near-term departures at a fraction of the regular price rather than run them with empty seats.
Why it's a steal
GOOD COMPARISONO.A.T.'s regular price for this trip, about $5,995 per person without flights, for two. O.A.T. lists this departure at $5,995 per person before the special, and the trip from $7,899 per person with its own airfare (about $6,199 without, using our flight estimate); we compare with the lower of the two.
