Sure, taking a vacation to the beach in the summer is nice, but there are several reasons why fall travel might be better. Outside of cooler temperatures and smaller crowds, families traveling in the fall can also benefit from lower rates during non-peak seasons. To help you plan a budget-family getaway with your family this fall, we’ve shared some tips below, courtesy of U.S. News & World Report Travel. Have fun and be safe!
Visit Business-Friendly and Off-the-Beaten-Path Destinations
For a budget-friendly getaway this fall, take a trip to a less-frequented destination. Avoid popular destinations and check out off-the-beaten-path cities instead. Also, head away from the crowds. While most are heading to the East coast and mountains to check out the changing leaves, you should look into flying to the Caribbean or Hawaii. Another great option is a snow-sport location. Condos in these areas feature amenities such as hot tubs and “embrace harvest festivals and activities without the hefty price tags during prime winter season.”
Rack Up Rewards
According to the article, enrolling in a rewards program is a simple way to boost your odds of landing deals, upgrades, and other membership privileges regardless of how much you travel. Invest in loyalty programs with each hotel and rental company you use to get great discounts and other perks.
Look for Low-Cost Carriers and Book Early
The key to saving money on flights for the family is to “book as far ahead as you can during a fare sale.” It’s also a good idea to cross-compare rates among low-cost carriers to find where cheaper flights are headed. Once you have a destination, lock in flights early and book on a Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rates.
