✈️ Tuesday Travel Tip: It’s Time to Think About Thanksgiving! 🦃
If Thanksgiving travel is on your calendar, waiting until November could cost you. August is a great time to start watching fares and locking in your plans.
📅 Why book early?
The earlier you book, the more likely you are to have:
• More nonstop flight choices
• Better departure and arrival times
• A wider selection of seats
• More options before holiday fares increase
🦃 Best times to fly:
If your schedule allows, consider traveling Sunday through Tuesday before Thanksgiving or even Thanksgiving Day itself. Flying on the holiday can be less expensive because fewer people want to travel that day.
🏠 Coming home?
Black Friday and the Monday or Tuesday after Thanksgiving can offer better options than the busy Sunday return.
⚠️ Days to avoid:
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is typically one of the busiest and most expensive travel days. The Sunday after Thanksgiving is another day when demand—and often fares—can be high.
✈️ Travel Tip: If possible, choose a nonstop flight. Besides saving time, eliminating a connection gives you one less opportunity for a missed connection, delay, or baggage problem.
💡 And don’t forget travel insurance.
Holiday travel can bring unexpected delays and disruptions. A travel delay benefit can help with certain covered expenses when things don't go according to plan. Depending on the plan, coverage may be available for as little as around $40 per person.
Bottom line: Start looking now. The best holiday flight isn't necessarily the cheapest flight—it’s the combination of price, schedule, and flexibility that works for you.
🦃✈️ Plan early. Save where you can. Travel with confidence!
