The Summer Month That’s Most Budget-Friendly for Travel
Timing is everything for budget-conscious travelers considering a summer holiday. While June and July are peak travel months, August often offers the best deals. Kicking off the late-summer shoulder season, August offers warm weather with fewer crowds and lower costs.
Mercedes Zach, a travel expert at ASAP Tickets, part of Trevolution Group, said the demand for flights and accommodations tends to decrease, driving down prices. “As a result, many hotels, airlines and tour operators offer discounted prices in August to attract more travelers and stay competitive,” Zach said. “However, it’s worth keeping in mind that travel costs can vary significantly depending on destination. For example, beach destinations in tropical locations or large events in certain areas might still remain expensive throughout August.” Travelers who don’t mind destinations with the August rainy seasons or intense summer heat could score discounts for the August holidays. “For travelers looking to visit Southeast Asia on a budget, August is also a great time, as it is part of the off-season and regions like Bali, Bangkok, Krabi and Vietnam can be significantly cheaper if you don’t mind occasional rain showers and humidity,” Zach said.

This Is How Early You Should Get to the Airport, According to Experts
Faced with the question of how early to get to the airport, most people fall into one of two camps: those who arrive hours in advance and those who prefer a last-minute dash to the gate. While anyone can appreciate the thrill of a gate sprint, it’s almost always better to be an early bird. Still, the specifics can vary depending on your destination, the airport’s size and layout, and whether you need special assistance. Here’s what travel experts suggest for a few common scenarios like domestic flights, international flights, and passing through airports outside the United States—plus, a few tips to make your journey from curb to gate as smooth as possible.
