Many of those discounted luxury vacation deals can be found online.

David and Cookie Maleh of Brooklyn say they found a good deal on a last-minute trip to Barbados last spring. The Malehs and another couple stayed at Sandy Lane, a five-star resort on the beach. For $3,129 a couple, they each received roundtrip coach air fare and four-night accommodations, including breakfast, golf privileges and spa treatments. Such a trip would normally cost $4,737 a couple, according to Wanderluxe .com, a new service the Malehs used to made their arrangements.
