English term or phrase: It makes me realize that a trip to X is a great deal now
Respondents are shown an ad and asked which of a list of statements best describes how the ad makes them feel. This is one of the potential answers. I'm having trouble with how to translate "great deal". It should be translated into Spanish for Spain.

This is fits the context and the meaning I had in mind. It's also very close to what I had thought of ( "Me hace pensar que ahora es un buen momento para viajar a X").

Explanation:
I made some changes in the words in order to enphasize the idea of "advertisement" into the given answers, in Spanish.
I do not like the idea of "un gran negocio" (suena literal y para mí no transmite lo que se desea decir en inglés...)
Hope it helps!

Yes, Carol, I agree. If it is a good idea, it's because it's cheaper too, I think! For me it's implied.
And for sure it depends on what you have in the whole context.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I was thinking along the same lines! I had thought of "Me hace pensar que ahora es un buen momento para viajar a X". It doesn't directly translate the notion of cost, though I suppose it's implied...

Asker: I ended up going with another answerer's suggestion, but I also liked your alternative, which was definitely on the right track, and would like to thank you for your contribution!
