Dec. 14, 2010 — -- Need a holiday getaway? Think it's too late to book a great trip?

Think again!

Travel expert Heidi Mitchell dropped by "Good Morning America" today to discuss five last-minute destination vacation deals.

The Sebastian, a new hotel in Vail, Colo., is offering a terrific deal, Mitchell said. Those who book the hotel's three-night package will get free massages and free lift tickets for the duration of the stay.

The hotel's three-night packages start at $199.50 per person per night and must be booked 10 days in advance.

If you are on the East Coast and don't want to put yourself through the hassle of flying, The Equinox Resort and Spa in Manchester Village, Vt., may be your destination. The resort is right by Bromley Mountain, and offers stays for $269 per night. You'll get lift tickets that would normally cost $69 for free.

Skiers usually travel with lots of luggage, but Mitchell pointed out that there were ways to avoid bag fees that many airlines levy. Some credit cards, like American Express Platinum, are waiving bag fees by giving travelers a $200 credit per year. Check with your credit card carrier online.

If you want a luxurious vacation but also want to take off a few pounds while you're there, Mitchell said you might want to think about the Miraval in Tucson, Ariz. The spa is offering its "Pretty and Prep for the Holidays" package through the end of February.

A minimum three-night, all-inclusive stay starts from $1,275 per person. That includes a $130 resort credit that can be used each night per person for spa treatments and other activities, Mitchell said.
