My spouse and I were wanting to visit NYC last spring. A hotel + flight package for three nights was listed as $800 per person because of a last minute sale. Okay so $1600 plus maybe another 10% in tax?

Nope. By the time you’re really settled on this is where you’ll stay and this is when you’ll fly out and return and your spouse is excited, the final price is more like $2500, not counting a daily resort fee of another $35 that will go directly to the hotel once you get there.

So from $800 a person to $2600 for two people. Yeah no thanks.
