The Labor Day weekend often sees high numbers of travelers looking to enjoy a late summer getaway. However there are still some great deals to be found.
- Fly on a less busy travel day. Travelers can take advantage of lower fares by traveling on Wednesday 08/31 or Thursday 09/01 as these are projected to be less busy. Compare cheap fares to find the best deals for your last minute flights and travel for less!
- Go off the beaten path. Head to less crowded Labor Day cities such as New York, Toronto or even Cancun to grab a better deal.
- Combine airlines and you could save $$$. Flying out to your destination with one airline, and back home with another, could mean a better overall fare.
