Ever wonder how people manage to jet off to Europe or splurge on five-star hotels without breaking the bank? Chances are, they’ve cracked the code of double digit sales. Dates like 7.7, 8.8, 9.9 or 11.11 have become massive shopping events across Asia, and travel is right at the heart of it all. It’s the perfect chance to book that dream trip while saving a tidy sum.
Double digit sales pop up on matching dates each month — think 7.7 for 7 July, 8.8 for 8 August, 9.9 for 9 September. They started as online shopping extravaganzas, but travel deals have quickly become some of the biggest highlights. During these promos, airlines, hotels, and travel apps roll out flash deals and exclusive discounts that can knock hundreds off your usual costs.
It’s not just hype. Many of these sales feature genuine price drops that you simply won’t find at other times of the year.
If you’re hoping to bag the best deals, timing is everything. Most double digit promotions start right at midnight or have special “power hours” where the deepest discounts appear. That’s when prices can be at their absolute lowest but they also sell out in a flash.
It pays to be prepared. Have your travel details ready, your account logged in, and your payment method sorted. A little midnight effort could land you a luxury hotel stay for the cost of a budget room.
The more open you are, the better your chances of snapping up a brilliant bargain. If you’re set on Tokyo during cherry blossom season, you’ll probably pay top rates. But shift your trip to autumn, when Japan is awash with fiery red maple leaves, and you’ll save a bundle. Plus, enjoy stunning scenery with fewer crowds.
Likewise, keep an eye out for unexpected deals to places like Taiwan, with its night markets and mountain views, or lively cities in China like Shanghai and Guangzhou, which often have lower fares outside peak holidays. Sometimes the best adventures aren’t the ones you spent ages planning, but the happy surprises you stumble upon when you stay flexible.

One of the joys of double digit sales is how many platforms roll out additional vouchers you can stack on top of existing discounts. You might see a hotel going at 30% off, and then apply an extra coupon to shave off even more.
While you’re browsing, keep an eye out for bundle deals. Booking your flights and hotel together can often unlock lower prices than paying for each separately. It’s like getting a little reward just for being clever about how you book.

When you spot a steal, it’s tempting to smash the book button without thinking twice. But take a moment to check exactly what’s included. Is breakfast part of the deal? Are airport transfers covered? How strict is the cancellation policy?
A quick scan avoids awkward surprises later. It also means you’ll be comparing apples with apples if you’re checking two hotels side by side.
One of the smartest ways to catch these deals is by signing up for notifications. Many travel platforms — like Traveloka — give early access or exclusive app-only deals. Being on the mailing list or turning on push notifications means you’ll often hear about special vouchers before everyone else.
It’s a simple step, but it could be the reason you snag that beachfront villa or extra flight discount.
