August 5, 2014
CheapOair today released data showing the top destinations where its customers will be traveling over the Labor Day weekend. Labor Day travelers are typically faced with high summer fares, but due to a low-demand for U.S. destinations, and an increase in travel to off-peak international destinations, CheapOair is reporting more affordable airfare deals this year.
“By booking ahead of time, travelers will find tremendous Labor Day airfare deals,” said Thomas Spagnola, senior vice president of supplier relations at CheapOair. “We are seeing an extraordinary 106 percent increase in bookings to international beach destinations throughout Mexico and the Caribbean, demonstrating that our customers are finding low airfare deals to help them make the most of their last long summer weekend.”
This year, the average domestic airfare over Labor Day weekend on CheapOair is $310 roundtrip. Travelers seeking the best value can find low airfare deals to Denver, Orlando and Tampa, all under $300 roundtrip.
