Book holiday, spring break travel now
Posted on September 10th, 2009 – 12:37 PMBy Kerri Westenberg
As I was getting set to write a blog about booking spring break trips now, I saw an e-mail from local airline expert Terry Trippler suggesting you book your holiday travel now. Let this blog act as a double warning. Actually, Trippler noted, it is a tad late to find the best fares for holiday travel, but anyone planning to fly for the holidays should move now rather than wait for a better fare that won’t come. The same is true of spring break. Recently, when I spoke with my travel agent at AAA Minneapolis about booking a spring break trip to Hawaii, she told me that seats were already tight. That’s for travel all the way at the end of March, but it is one of the busiest times, after Thanksgiving and the holidays. If you want to have your place in the sun, book now.

Thanks, Kerri! I had no idea that spring break vacations need to be booked this far in advance.
