For both air and car travel, avoid the crowds bytraveling during the week, especially from Tuesday throughThursday. An added bonus is that airfares for travel Tuesdaythrough Thursday are usually cheaper. Mid-morning and late afternoon flights tend to be less crowded,plus you can really avoid commute traffic during this time. Thissite also offers the load on late-night flights (also known asred-eye flights for obvious reasons): these flights can help youavoid traffic but it's only effective if you can sleep sittingup-right on a plane! And did you know that traveling off-peak means traveling duringholidays (not before or after) when airfares are lower andthere's less road traffic? Some of the most affordable traveldeals of the year can be found in the fall. If you find superoff-peak dates that fall between major holidays, strike whilethe iron is hot. Book immediately with your discount travelbroker. Never hesitate!
