High Season Discount
Daily Travel Tips, Travel Tips — on July 30, 2007 10:12 amDuring tough high seasons — spring break, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and of course, summer months — there are few discounts.
But here’s how you can travel a bit cheaper.
The way around the busiest seasons is actually a simple one if you can plan ahead: think alternate airports and cities, and flights with intermediate stops in hub cities en route.
And if that doesn’t work, go to plan C: whether you have young children in school or they’re in college, figure out ahead of time if they can take exams a week earlier, or get extra credit for doing an assignment during a trip.
That way, you can leave early and avoid peak travel periods.
Outside of that terrible blackout period around the holidays when airfares skyrocket, the savings can be staggering on both airfares and hotel rates, and the crowds at the airport more manageable.
