If you’re a savvy traveler, now is the perfect time to start thinking about your holiday vacation plans. We recently blogged about how bargain hunting for fall travel is going to be different than the last minute travel deals that were available during the summer, suggesting that if you’re smart, you’ll start looking for those Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation deals now, rather than later. This is because airlines are cutting back dramatically this fall in terms of flight schedules and they’re facing rising gas prices as well. What this means for travelers is a raise in holiday flight prices, when airlines know that people will be traveling. Because there won’t be as much avai...
