Morphology

travel + bargain

The meaning 'a special low price or deal for travelers' is directly and compositionally derivable from 'travel' (journeying) + 'bargain' (a good-value deal). This noun–noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistically transparent pattern, so an average B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Travel bargain comes from combining travel, meaning a trip, and bargain, meaning a very good price. Travel companies often lower prices to fill empty seats or rooms, so they offer a bargain to people ready to travel. That's why travel bargain means 'a special low price or deal for travelers'.
