I’m ex-Navy. Best travel deals are, of course, to use Space Available Travel [1]. Take 3 weeks of leave and be prepared to go anywhere, and don’t mind where you end up.
Next best deals are European lowfare airlines. I’ve flown Ryanair [2] for 1.99 euros. There are others, such as EasyJet [3].
Many commands also have free travel agents for the military. Here’s a secret: You can call any base that has a travel agency and they will arrange your travels for you to go anywhere within their AOR. They have direct access to airline databases, etc…
In europe there is also the EurailPass if you enjoy riding the train. You’ll go to tons of countries on the cheap. [4]
