Will You Be Traveling This Holiday Season?
Every year, long distance travel increases by 23 percent during the Christmas to New Year's time frame. Ninety-one percent of that travel is done by car. Though the thought of packing up our kids and braving the traffic is enough to keep many families at home, the joy of seeing them celebrate the holidays with loved ones far away outshines that.
I'm Asking: How Much Is Holiday Travel Costing You This Year?
More than half of you plan on reducing your holiday budget significantly compared to last year's budget, but the holidays are just as much about togetherness as they are giving. Spending your time with the ones you love is more valuable than a material gift, anyway, but it can cost a bit of money to travel the distance.
Personally, I'm staying local ($0) during the holidays but am lucky to spend New Year's with my closest friends ($220 plane ticket).
Begin Price-Watching Holiday Travel Airfare
It may only be August, but there are already ads out there featuring decorated evergreen and Santa's cookies. Advertisers already have the Winter holidays on their minds, and you should too — holiday travel this year is projected to be more expensive than last year. Airlines have less routes planned especially for popular vacation destinations, and their prices are up often due to fuel surcharges.
Find Out Which Airports Offer Free WiFi For Holiday Travels
Last year around this time, I brought you a list of some airports in the US that offer free WiFi. Since many of us will be traveling this holiday season — with laptops and cell phones attached at our hips — it's helpful to know which airports won't be charging hefty rates for Internet use.
Many new airports have been added to the WiFi FreeSpot directory, so I suggest heading on over the site to see if the airports you'll be visiting this year will give you net access for free.
