5 Tips to Finding Cheaper Holiday Flights

from Solo Travel Adventures: Safe Travel for Women, Preparing for a Trip, Overcoming Fear, Travel Tips · host Cheryl Esch-Solo Travel Advocate/Travel Coach/Freedom Traveler

The time between Christmas and New Years is one of the most expensive times for flights, with a general higher airfare from December 17th through January 7th.1) Book your holiday travel at least 5 months out. The closer you get to the actually holiday, you will see continual incremental increases.2) Travel on the holiday itself: Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.Avoid December 23 and 26th and the day before a holiday and the Sunday after a holiday, such as Thanksgiving. Although in general traveling on a Tuesday or Wednesday tend to be cheaper, because of what day Christmas is on this year, that is not true this year (2023).3) Check alternative airports. If you live in a metro area where there is more than one airport or can drive 2 hours to another airport to save money, then consider doing a search through Google Flights and see if using a different airport is financially a better option.4) Extend your trip to avoid the rush and  lower your ticket price. Travel several days before and/or after the holiday.5) Consider International flights as they can be cheaper than domestic flights during the holiday window. Everyone wants to go home and visit family during the holidays but if you just want to get away as a solo traveler during the holiday, then look at international destinations.Support the showhttps://[email protected] @solotraveladventures50
