The Holidays are Coming!

Be smart and book while the booking's good! The holidays are coming and air seats are going. If you're planning to travel over the holidays, now is the time to act.

when buying holiday air travel, options are few. Every day there is less and less availability, which drives the fares higher and higher. When you plan to travel for the holidays, getting the best deal cannot be the deciding factor; getting the seats to your destination is the deciding factor. If you start shopping today for airfare and you find what you want-buy it. In most cases, that same offer won’t be there tomorrow. Peak days/dates for holiday travel this year will be:

Thanksgiving:
Tuesday, November 25
Wednesday, November 26
Friday, November 28
Saturday, November 29
Sunday, November 30

Christmas:
Friday, December 19
Saturday, December 20
Sunday, December 21
Wednesday, December 24
Friday, December 26
Saturday, December 27
Sunday, December 28

New Year:
Tuesday, December 30
Wednesday, December 31
Thursday, January 1 Friday,
January 2 Saturday,
January 3 Sunday,
January 4

If your travel plans have you in transit during these times, now is the time to book and buy. Also, be sure to make use of the fabulous alert tools that airlines offer these days. No matter where you buy your ticket, you can go the website of the airline on which you are booked to select your seats, (highly recommended!) and to set up schedule alerts. These optional features allow you to request notification of flight delays, cancellations, or if you're lucky, normal operation.

Even if you plan to drive, hotel reservations en route should be booked in advance as well. Many hotel chains have begun offering advance purchase rates which can be substantially lower, although they often require non-refundable payments. Still, if your plans have you on the road, why not commit to the itinerary and save some money for it? It’s far better than driving through unknown territory in the middle of the night looking for vacancy. The same principles apply for football travel, President’s Day, and ski trips.
