Last Minute Discount Travel Tips For Thanksgiving

last minute discount travel tipsThanksgiving is the busiest time of year for travel with nearly 30 million people flying across the country to get their turkey dinners. Avoiding the hassle might be impossible but you can get some last minute discount travel tips just in time for the holiday.

Try not to fly on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving as that is the busiest day. Try shipping your bags ahead - you could get a substantial discount by doing this. Once in the airport skip the departure level and go to the arrivals leval and straight to the security gates. If you must check your bags do not bring wrapped presents. You will have to unwrap them for security. Last try checking into alternative, smaller airports. These might be less crowded and easier to get around.

Airline Price War Gives More Options for Last Minute Discount Travel

last minute discount travel

A price war has begun recently among airlines, which is good news for those seeking last minute discount travel.

The airlines are hurting right now because demand has stalled. One airline, AirTran, decided to do something to try to remedy the situation.

AirTran has announced a sale on airfares that has some one-way tickets priced as low as $39. Of course, there are some provisos. For one, customers must book their trips between March 5, 2009 and November 4, 2009.

"I don't remember a sale this extensive in the last twenty years," stated Tom Parsons, the chief executive officer of Bestfares.com. Parsons points out that it's unprecedented for an airline to offer such discounts 5 days per week.
