After some early predictions of horrible about this year’s holiday travel costs, it turns out we’re down to just six days tend to be surcharged by airline. I wanted to let you know the days that you really should avoid flying this year.
Travel expert has predicted that it will be charging a lot of dollars this year for holiday travel as the full fare have parking so many planes in the wilderness. (Discount airlines, on the other hand, have kept their capacity pretty much level)
But the most expensive day report BestFares.com to flying this holiday season-and the only person you really need to be sure to plan around-will on November 27 and 28; December 22, 23 and 26; and 2 January.
Of course, it goes without saying that the more flexibility you have with your travel date, the better you will do at any time throughout the year. When you’re looking for this Christmas fare, using Kayak.com feature that allows you to choose the “+/-3 days” (click the link that says, “I date flexibility”) to find out how to stretch your date can save you money. This can make a big difference.
