Sure, you might get unlucky on a particular flight, route or day, but if you have flexibility, there are still deals to be found.
All summer, TPG has been following a wealth of flight deals and discounts that just weren’t available a year or two ago … and that’s with the traditionally cheaper autumn “shoulder season” months still ahead of us.
Make no mistake: People are traveling! The crowds at airports set all-time records in June and July.
However, airlines have added so many flights that they’re now scrambling to fill seats — and that means fare battles, promos and deals!
Will it last? The airlines (and their shareholders) hope not. Many are adding and cutting tons of routes to try and shake things up.
For now, it’s a great time to look into booking a fall trip; there are tons of flight options, including to Europe, well into the autumn months.
You might even be able to find a bargain on a last-minute, end-of-summer getaway.
I, for one, am redeeming a big stash of American Express Membership Rewards points for a September week in Italy, after (I hope) the biggest crowds subside.
