How do you celebrate a day that only comes around once every four years? By taking advantage of the numerous travel deals that airlines, hotels, and others are offering as a way to celebrate, of course! While some of the deals are targeted toward leaplings specifically, there’s still a little something out there for everyone.

On 2020’s extra day, you can find half-off train tickets, plenty of deals on flights, and a cornucopia of cheap hotel stays, so if you’ve got half-baked travel plans for later in the year, today could be the day to set everything in stone.

Here’s a look at this year’s Leap Day travel deals:

  • Planes, Trains, & Automobiles

    • Delta Airlines is offering discounted flights through March 3rd (deals vary by destination)

    • JetBlue is waiving change and cancel fees through March 11th

    • Amtrak is giving riders 50% off select train routes in March and April

    • Megabus is offering free travel vouchers (for leaplings only)
