A growing trend in travel allows individuals to book vacations without knowing their destination. This concept, known as "mystery travel," offers discounted trips, with prices starting as low as $200. The trend is gaining attention due to rising airfare prices.

The average airfare has increased by about $100 in the past year, reaching $405 at the end of September. Several companies, including Groupon, offer surprise getaway packages that include airfare and hotel accommodations.

Further details on how mystery travel works and the options available can be found through companies offering these services, such as Groupon's "Mystery Getaways" starting at $199 per person.
