Already, flights, hotels and vacation packages are going faster than hotdogs on opening day at a ballpark, so if you’re hoping to get out of town for the weekend, I suggest you start shopping now. To help you, I’ve put together this little guide to the best 4th of July deals around the U.S…
Best Time to Purchase Your Flight
Well, technically, the best time to buy your flight for the 4th of July is Memorial Day weekend, but since that’s already behind us, we’ll have to suggest the next best time—now!
Summer flights are expensive in and of themselves, but flights on a holiday weekend? Forget about it! You’re looking at upwards of $400--if you wait until 1 month before your flight, which is the typical purchasing pattern for travelers. Instead, book your travel 5-6 weeks out—or, if possible, even earlier. This will save you upwards of hundreds of dollars on airfare! Imagine what you can do with all that extra cash ;)
