One of the best ways to save money is by booking at just the right time. For domestic flights, booking about two to three months in advance usually gets you the best prices. For international getaways, better prices tend to be about three to six months ahead. Looking to save even more? Flying midweek can also lead to unexpected savings. Where are you planning to go next?

When time is limited, thoughtful planning makes all the difference. Choose one home base and explore nearby sights rather than hopping from place to place. Pre-book high-demand experiences and leave open time for unexpected moments. Keep essentials in a day bag so you're always ready to move. A short trip doesn't have to feel rushed if you travel with purpose.
