The travel industry, particularly hotels, are hoping to get in on the Cyber Monday action by offering great deals. The travel media has done a great job of picking up on this trend, so here's a sample of what's being covered and a quick snap shot of each.

Barbara De Lollis writes on the USA Today Hotel Check-In blog about Starwood and Affinia. Starwood offers up to 45 percent off rates during a three-day sale; Affinia offers 15 percent off today only. Travel into 2010.

Ben Mutzabaugh writes on the Today in the Sky blog (also USA Today) about airlines getting on on the action. United, JetBlue and Virgin America all have sales today. The United and JetBlue tickets must be purchased today.

Peter Greenberg  writes on his blog about flight, train and cruise deals on offer.

Budget Travel's JD Rinne writes on This Just In about a few deals offered through today, including three great ones from Travelocity. On the offer are $75 off a Colorado ski vacation and 40 percent off Mariott hotels in the Caribbean, Costa Rica and Mexico.
