REVIEW: Surprise Trips

This looks awful. I picked a random weekend for two people and ended up with a $750 quote for a 3 day getaway. Some of the destinations were awful places like Vegas, Phoenix, and two in Texas. All of those places are on there because they are either nearby, routinely inexpensive to fly to, or have major hub airports. Vegas is extremely undesirable.

They ask you what kind of traveler you are. I specifically did not pick concerts / partying, and still Vegas shows up. If I want to exclude Vegas and Phoenix (fucking lol) it would cost me $24 — one free exclusion and $12/pp for the second.

For three days you could go to Vegas for far less than $750 from almost anywhere in the United States, but certainly from my location.

I would venture to say that this website is unlikely to represent good value, especially when you take into consideration the chance you’ll end up paying $750 to go somewhere extremely inexpensive and potentially undesirable.
