Thanksgiving Travel Tip:

Reserve Airport Parking in Advance to Lock in Your Spot and Price

During Thanksgiving, airport parking lots fill up quickly, and rates can surge due to high demand. To avoid the hassle of circling for a space or paying exorbitant fees, reserve your parking spot in advance through an airport parking app or service. Some off-site lots even offer discounts or shuttle services to the terminal. This ensures peace of mind on travel day, knowing you have a guaranteed spot and won’t face last-minute parking stress or higher-than-expected costs.

Travel Tip: Booking Vacations Within 3-6 Months Is a Bad Idea!

With the surge in global travel demand, especially post-pandemic, waiting until the last minute to book your vacation is no longer a smart strategy. Whether it's the summer holiday season, winter getaways, or spring vacations, trying to secure your dream trip within the 3-6 month window often leads to higher costs, limited availability, and missed opportunities. Here’s why booking last minute is a bad idea and what you can do instead.

Increased Demand Drives Up Prices
As global travel returns to pre-pandemic levels, the demand for flights, accommodations, and popular attractions has skyrocketed. This means airlines and hotels adjust their prices based on how close you are to your travel dates. Typically, the closer you are to your departure, the fewer available options you'll have, and the higher the prices climb. In many cases, airfare alone can increase by as much as 25-40% when booked within three months of your desired departure.

Limited Availability for Popular Destinations
Booking last minute severely limits your choices, especially for high-demand destinations or accommodations during peak seasons. Luxury resorts, all-inclusive escapes, and family-friendly spots like Disney and Universal parks often sell out well in advance. This can leave you with less desirable accommodation options, inconvenient flight schedules, or higher prices for standard experiences.

Less Time to Plan Your Dream Vacation
Vacations, especially those that involve multiple destinations, cruises, or exclusive experiences, require careful planning. When you book late, you not only miss out on competitive pricing but also on the chance to properly coordinate logistics like securing the best tours, reserving dinner spots at top-rated restaurants, or booking popular excursions. Last-minute bookings leave you scrambling, which can lead to a less enjoyable, rushed experience.

Why Booking Early is Key
The ideal time to book your vacation is 8-12 months in advance. This allows you to take advantage of early-bird discounts, lock in lower rates, and secure your spot at top-tier destinations and accommodations. For instance, flights to Europe are often cheapest 9-12 months before your planned trip, and many cruise lines offer perks for early reservations. In addition, booking early gives you peace of mind and ample time to plan your itinerary, excursions, and any other special touches that will make your vacation unforgettable.

In short, booking your vacation within 3-6 months can end up costing you more time, money, and opportunities. Plan ahead, lock in your deals, and enjoy the best possible experience without the stress!
