  • Feeling the heat from high travel prices? You aren’t alone. But there are ways to save some cash if you’re traveling this summer. A recent study from Expedia found that flight searches are up 25% overall for June - August compared to the same time last year. Some other takeaways:

    • Travel around the Fourth of July holiday is expected to be the most expensive, with July 1 expected to be the most expensive date to fly this summer.

    • For the cheapest prices, travel during late August + avoid holiday weekends. Prices are expected to drop $125 compared to the peak in early July.

    • The top 5 international destinations for U.S. travelers include some regulars like Cancun and London, which are relatively close to the U.S. by plane. However, the top trending destinations for Americans include several long-haul flights, such as Auckland, Hong Kong, and Hanoi.
