For an unforgettable Fourth of July experience that’s easy on the wallet, CheapOair recommends visiting one of Orlando’s many theme parks for their annual Independence Day celebrations. Alternatively, those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere should head to Seattle or Boston for their outdoor concerts and renowned fireworks displays.

“Independence Day signifies the height of the travel season, as many consumers kick off their summer vacations that weekend. As we get closer to the Fourth of July holiday and the busiest summer travel season yet, airline prices are only expected to increase. Consumers should take advantage of the deals available now before they miss out on some great travel opportunities,” Spagnola adds.
