People looking for travel bargains should be thinking ahead to 2004. That�s because after the holiday travel rush ends, the bargains begin.  If they plan ahead, travelers can find reduced rates on airfares, rental cars and hotels.  Hyatt Resorts, for instance, is offering guests staying as few as two nights a free third night at 18 participating resorts in the U.S. and Caribbean -- and they�ll receive $200 credits for future round trip airfares on any airline and any flight worldwide with no blackout dates.  Jeff Flater, Assistant Vice President of Resort Marketing for Hyatt Hotels Corporation: 

�We know consumers will need a vacation after the holiday stress, so we�re offering a special savings to help them plan a getaway � or two getaways with the $200 flight credits guests will receive during their stay. Whether they want a spa and ski experience at our newly renovated Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort or to escape to the tropics to our Hyatt Regency Dorado Beach Resort in Puerto Rico, Hyatt offers a unique experience.�

Flater of Hyatt Resorts says the Sunshine on Sale Promotion is for travel January 5 through May, 31 2004 while the flight credits are good on any trip before April 30, 2005.
