But anyone who has traveled knows that things can go wrong, which is why KPRC 2 has AAA I consulted with Doug Shupe in Texas.
Important points:
-
Analysts predict that 4.9 billion people will travel around the world this year. This would surpass the 4.5 billion people who traveled around the world in 2019, before the pandemic began.
-
Some domestic airlines are consolidating routes due to the reduction of regional jet flights in some areas and the hiring of airline staff.
-
Think about where you want to go and book your flight now. The sooner the better. This is because air ticket prices skyrocket in the summer. Consider leaving on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday. Those days tend to be the cheapest as there are fewer business travelers.
-
Consider working with a trusted travel advisor to combine your vacation in a package that includes flights and accommodation. As a AAA member, you'll receive even more discounts and benefits. Note: You don't need to be a member to work with a AAA advisor, but Schopf says membership is highly recommended.
-
Don't let high gas prices deter you. Consider a road trip, where you can schedule your own schedule and save far more money than airfare.
