Watch For Fall Specials

As much as I love my kids and as much as I dread the day they leave home, I am also counting down the days when we can travel in September.  Just so you know, it's 4 more years.

JetBlue just did their big promotion with the "All You Can Jet".  Or there is the Delta, American and AirTran airfare war going on.

I like the illustration I saw today that says Fall sales are like the cousins you rarely ever see.  They show up out of now where, stick around for just a short time and are gone before you know it.   It's all true and the best part is the deals are usually killer deals.

This year, it's good and bad news.  The deals are there, but prices are higher this year than they were last year. Average round trip domestic airfare this fall is $320 compared to $284 last year.  Average round trip for an international flight this year is $769 and in 2009 it was $643.

One thing that is always a given is the the lowest prices of the year traditionally hit right after Labor Day and  run to mid November.   Some of the beachy bargains this time of year are in Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Even though June through November is hurricane season, many travels are willing to risk a storm in exchange for a great price.  I know I would risk it for a price.  Of course I say that now.
