In the recent days, there have been plenty of great deals on air fare offered out by carriers. If you’re the type of person that likes to travel, don’t wait a minute longer to start booking a vacation – not only are the airlines serving up deals, but hotels are too. Not too long ago, I remember hearing about a $220 round-trip flight from Philadelphia to Madrid (that deal no longer exists), which is incredible. I think that if you can fly to Europe, round-trip, for under $350 – it’s a good deal! Kayak and TripAdvisor are great sites to look up fares – but don’t forget to check low-cost carriers, and others, that do not display results on both of those sites.
The deals are incredible, but how much longer do you have? Airlines can change ticket prices anytime they want to. In the recent weeks, we’re starting to see some fares rise. Holiday travel still appears to be the priciest (but why wouldn’t it be?), and the best time to travel tends to be in the middle of the week – which is why I keep saying vacation and not holiday. For college students, I’d think about booking winter break tickets soon – I booked my plane ticket home and got an incredible deal through Kayak. The nice thing about booking tickets for winter breaks, or spring breaks, the dates usually are not particularly close to major holidays, making it much cheaper.
I wouldn’t expect to fly somewhere grand for under $100, but there are great fares everywhere, and if you love to travel or have been looking for a fairly inexpensive but fun vacation, I’d book travel before it’s too late.
