Travelocity Deal Today!

Travelocity.com is offering a 1 night or flight free if you book your hotel and flight together through their website. I tried booking a trip to New Orleans; flights from San Diego and 3 nights in a hotel in the French Quarter.
Here's what I found:

There were no direct flights and very few 1 stop flights unless you paid extra. I chose a 1 stop flight since I didn't want to pay extra. All the hotels were around $850-$1050 for 3 nights so I chose a middle range with breakfast (you know how much I like my breakfast included). So the total came to $1788.72 for 2 people. Then I activated the Ebates.com 10% back on the total. So I would get $178 cash back after my stay. So now my total was $1610 or $805 per person.

I did a quick search on google flights and found that if I just booked a flight, it would cost me about $600 per person. If I tried booking 3 nights at the Degas House hotel through the bed and breakfast website, the price quoted is $750 total. So if I booked it separately for 2 people, I would pay $1200 in flights and $750 for the hotel or $1950 total. By booking through the Travelocity deal, I would pay $1610 so I would save about $340 dollars. Basically saving the cost of 1 night in the hotel which was the promotion. Of course, I saved 10% more because I activated my Ebates.com cash back link.

And here's the fine print on the promotion from the Travelocity website:
*When you book your Flight+Hotel together, the package savings cover the cost of the flight, hotel or 1-night stay. Prices based on searches conducted by fellow shoppers within the past 24 hours. There is no guarantee that these prices will be in effect at the time of your search. Vacation package savings are based on comparison to prices on Travelocity.com of the same components booked separately. Savings vary based on origin/destination, length of trip, stay dates and travel partners, and aren't available on all packages.

So the bottom line is that you need to do your research to see if this deal can save you any money. It may depend on where you want to go, let me know if you find any sweet spots in this promotion.
Of course, if you use points or miles for the hotel or flight part of this trip, you will save more.
