best deal可能不只是价格好,也许还有其他因素,如时间衔接、配套服务或付款方式等。
Naikei Wong Feb 1, 2008:
"找到费用最优惠的旅行社" -- 如果是这个意思,原文最起码应该是:"you've got the best agent/**dealer** with the best price/value"... 这样一来,原文的精炼就不能保存了。
Naikei Wong Feb 1, 2008:
"We've got/made/struck a deal" 都是固定的idomatic 用法,意思是成功达成协议(that is, we've got/made/struck an agreement [in a transaction])。也因此没有别的“弦外之意”。一个商业协议最大的焦点无非是“价钱”!供参考

会不会是:找到费用最优惠的旅行社?

找到最優惠/超值的服務安排

I think "a deal" is what the travel service provider offers or what they charges. The lowest possible prices perhaps.

a deal just means "agreement" in a transaction.

The context does not suggest a package.
