Thanksgiving is just around the corner and with it comes the most stressful travel season of the year. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be. CheapOair®, the premier online travel agency and leading provider of affordable flights, is sharing their best tips and tricks to ensure that travelers everywhere make it to the dinner table come Turkey Day.

Book Early (Time is of the Essence!)
If you’re reading this and you haven’t booked your Thanksgiving flight yet, there’s no time like the present. Most airlines’ prices start to spike in early November and continue to rise through the New Year. According to CheapOair’s data, the cheapest time to book Thanksgiving travel is in October with an average U.S domestic cost of $379.05.*

Leave a Little Bit Early or a Little Bit Late
The Sunday after Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel days of the year and can lead to a tense travel experience. Avoid the rush by leaving on either Black Friday, a day many people choose to relax in a post-meal stupor, or the Tuesday after travelers are already back to their normal work routines.

“Airline prices can be dramatically cheaper traveling on the ‘non-peak’ days during Thanksgiving week. Major airports will be less crowded, getting through TSA will be faster, and the demand for overhead bin space to put your carry-on will be much easier, which will avoid having to check your bag,” said Tom Spagnola, Senior Vice President of Supplier Relations at Fareportal.

Skip the Checked Luggage
If possible, stick to a carry-on. The kiosks for self-luggage check-in will be almost as long as the lines at the actual check-in counter. If a bag needs to be checked, consider consolidating your family’s luggage into one suitcase to minimize any potential fees or lost luggage mishaps.

“There will be a much higher percentage of families traveling over Thanksgiving, which means more people will be checking luggage. Some airlines charge fees to check luggage based on the type of fare that you purchased so the cost of checking luggage can add up quickly,” remarked Spagnola.

Take Advantage of Early Check-In on Apps
Most airlines now allow you to check in online twenty-four hours before your expected departure, and with the CheapOair app, app switching is no longer necessary. The app allows consumers to do this all in one spot so that the entire journey from check-in to return can be managed in one ecosystem.

CheapOair’s mission is to educate and aid consumers and travel professionals in both planning their travel accommodations and staying current on the most popular destinations. Thanks to its unique and comprehensive travel trend monitoring, the online travel agency does just that.

Today, CheapOair®, the premier online travel agency and leading provider of affordable flights, announced the top destinations across the U.S. that travelers are visiting throughout the upcoming fall season.

“Fall is considered an off-peak travel season due to a lower demand of airfare ahead of the holidays, which results in some great deals to top destinations in the country,” said Tom Spagnola, CheapOair’s Senior Vice President of Supplier Relations.

After analyzing booking data across the country for September through November, CheapOair found that Las Vegas, NV is the most popular destination for travel this fall, followed by Denver, CO, Orlando, FL, and Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

CheapOair’s Top 2019 Fall Travel Destinations¹

“Throughout 2019, Denver has shined as a highly booked getaway due to a variety of outdoor activities available for consumers to take advantage of, and an overall increase in adventure travel among millennials. Fall is also a great time to travel to Orlando to take advantage of less crowded amusement parks during this off-peak travel season.”

The kids are back to school and parents of grown children are feeling that sense of wanderlust. CheapOair®, the premier online travel agency and leading provider of affordable flights, has found the top destinations for empty-nest travelers seeking out adventure this fall.

“Dropping the kids off at college can be emotional but it’s also the perfect opportunity for parents to take advantage of their sudden increased free time,” said Tom Spagnola, CheapOair’s Senior Vice President of Supplier Relations.

According to CheapOair’s data, Las Vegas, NV, and Denver, CO, took the top spots for customers over the age of 50.

“It makes sense that many empty-nest parents are rediscovering vacation destinations outside of the realm of theme parks and family-friendly resorts. Whether they’re having a second honeymoon in Vail or just want to play the odds on the Vegas strip, it truly is a wonderful time to get out into the world.”

“National Cheap Flight Day continues to be the best-kept secret in the travel space. Prices are at an annual low and the budget-savvy traveler should definitely take advantage of this brief window between the summer season and peak holiday travel,” said Tom Spagnola, CheapOair’s Senior Vice President of Supplier Relations. “This off-peak season is a great opportunity for travelers to visit destinations they wouldn’t normally consider. There’s a bit of excitement in seeing a great deal transform into a memorable adventure,” remarked Spagnola.

Additionally, CheapOair will be celebrating National Cheap Flight Day by offering exciting giveaways with several airline partners for roundtrip flights across the globe.

CheapOair®, the online travel agency and a leading provider of affordable flights, is celebrating National Book Lovers Day by sharing their list of must-see American authors homes. Each of these iconic homesteads will fit perfectly into any bibliophile’s travel itinerary.

Emily Dickinson and Museum – Amherst, Massachusetts
While it’s true that Emily Dickinson spent most of her adult life in relative seclusion, the home in which she spent her days was an idyllic New England gem tucked away in Amherst, Massachusetts. When in Dickinson’s room it’s all too easy to imagine her sitting at her desk and composing one of the thousands of poems she wrote in her lifetime.  The Emily Dickinson Museum boasts art, impeccably preserved Victorian furniture, and intimate glimpses into the life of a woman whose life is still shrouded in mystery.

Nearest Airports: Bradley International Airport, Boston Logan International Airport

Ernest Hemingway’s Home – Key West, Florida
Almost everything you need to know about the man Hemingway was could be found in his opulent Key West Spanish Colonial style home. Filled to the brim with hunting trophies from his African safaris, an inground pool, Spanish inspired architecture, and approximately 40 polydactyl cats all said to be descendants of Hemingway’s own cat Snow White, who was given to him by a ship captain some time after moving into the home.

Nearest Airport: Key West International Airport

The Mark Twain House – Hartford, Connecticut
As you could expect from the eccentric and sharp mind of Mark Twain, his home was one of innovation and many modern flourishes for the time it was built in 1874. Luxuries such as running water, a working telephone, and even a conservatory stocked fully with thriving green plants. Although the house was sold in 1903, it’s widely agreed that Twain’s happiest family memories took place in this lovely Victorian home.

Nearest Airport: Bradley International Airport

William Faulkner – Rowan Oak – Oxford Mississippi
Located in Oxford, Mississippi, which has become a literary mecca in its own right, William Faulkner’s home boasts beautiful grounds with 29 acres to stroll through. Faulkner, who bought the house to live a more peaceful life, was constantly making renovations and that care is still very apparent as one explores its rooms. Faulkner also had a unique habit of writing drafts of his works directly on the walls – some of which are still visible to visitors today!

Nearest airport: Tupelo Airport

The Steinbeck House – Salinas, California
Although most famously known for writing about life’s hardships during the Great Depression, John Steinbeck’s childhood home was one of relative comfort. Located in scenic Salinas, California, this idyllic Victorian home is where Steinbeck spent his formative years before going on to write classics such as The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden.

Nearest airport: Monterey Regional Airport or San Francisco International Airport
