3 Ways to Save Money on Holiday Travel

Millions of Americans travel each November and December to spend time with loved ones. And while there's nothing like returning home for the holidays, doing so inevitably comes at a cost. If you'd rather not strain your budget too heavily, consider these tips for keeping your expenses to a minimum.

Waiting until the last minute to arrange your travel won't just put you at risk of not getting a flight; it might also cause you to pay more. According to travel site Hopper, prices for Christmas flights tend to peak about 10 days before the start of the holiday, so if you've yet to make your arrangements this year, be sure to get on that, pronto. Also keep in mind that October is generally the best time to book travel for both Thanksgiving and the December holidays, so that's something to keep in mind for 2018.
