Island Hideaway
Discount Airfare Orlando

While preparing for your family vacation to Orlando Florida, Island Hideaway provider of Lodging also provides cheap flights to Orlando and car rentals through our partnership with airdepartment.com


Airdepartment provides airfare Orlando flights with the following airlines America West, KLM, Air Canada, American Airlines, Continental, US Airways, United Airlines, Delta and Northwest providing a wide selection of airline tickets into the Orlando Florida area.


Why was AirDepartment.com created?

AirDepartment.com was created to provide one stop shopping for discount airfare and discount car rental.

What problem does AirDepartment.com solve?

When traveling involves flying, consumers often first select their hotel and check for availability, but hold-off on confirming their accommodations until AFTER they've purchased their airfare. Why? Because they don't know what it will cost them to get there! That's why travel packaging is so popular...consumers have a better idea of the total cost of their trip before they buy it.

Because of this, properties that offer airfare to their guests usually book more reservations and have much lower vacancy rates and higher yields. Properties that don't offer lodging and airfare together are clearly at a competitive disadvantage to those that do.

AirDepartment.com is the tool that allows Lodging Providers and Tour Operators that don’t have in-house travel agents to also sell airfare and car rentals to their customers who would have to buy them elsewhere, thus eliminating the competitive disadvantage.

Why not just refer customers to a travel agent or one of the travel websites?

We ONLY offer airfare and car rentals through our service, never accommodations. AirDepartment.com allows our partners to retain control of their customers. Travel Agents and Travel websites may suggest other vacation options and the sale could be lost.

What benefits does AirDepartment.com provide to its Partners’ Customers?

Travelers benefit from the convenience of one-stop shopping. Plus, through our Airline Partnerships, they have access to cheap flights to Orlando, not offered to the general public, that can save them money. Our Customer Service staff handles the travelers' airfare questions and any changes after tickets are purchased, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Orlando Family Traveler Support: 888-284-8280
