Black Friday isn’t just a bargain shopping day, it’s also the cheapest day to fly around Thanksgiving.
Flights for Thanksgiving are expected to be about 12 percent more expensive than last year — and Christmas and New Year’s are no better — but there are some days that are less pricey to travel on than others, according to a new study from CheapAir.com. In fact, travelers who fly on the Friday after Turkey Day can save almost $100. Monday, Nov. 20, is the best-priced day ahead of the holiday.
For Christmas, deals are sparse with the least-expensive day to fly far ahead of the holiday on Dec. 18. Travelers who fly on Christmas Eve, however, can save nearly $120 compared to flying on Dec. 22, which is one of the most expensive days to fly for the holiday.
Travelers hoping to toast the New Year with a vacation are in luck: because the holiday falls on a Monday this year, CheapAir.com predicted return flights are relatively the same price whether passengers fly on Monday or Tuesday.
Beyond avoiding peak travel days, the group recommended travelers consider mixing and matching airlines with two one-way flights to find a better price and paying attention to possible hidden fees like extra charges for baggage. The group said waiting to book isn’t typically a good idea since airfare tends to rise 21, 14, 7, and 3 days before departure.
This holiday season, travelers looking for an international getaway are opting for warm destinations in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean, according to a holiday trends report viewed by Travel + Leisure. But not everyone is jetting off — nearly 60 percent of U.S. travelers plan to take a trip within their own state.
With crowded airports comes added stress so travelers should consider opting for direct flights to minimize the impact of any possible disruptions and splurging for lounge access to make the airport experience a bit easier.

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday.
The first time I took my kids to Disney World, they were 3 and 5 years old. We lived in Maryland at the time. We made a few more trips during their younger years and eventually moved to a small beach town about 90 minutes from Disney when they were 6 and 8. Like any good Floridian, we signed up for annual Disney passes and started visiting more.
Frontier Airlines' all-you-can-fly pass is an interesting concept that comes with a major catch.
Quiet relaxation or unlimited drink packages? White tablecloths or all-you-can-eat buffets? Water slides or jazz quartets?

Los Angeles has long been viewed as a new city, spring up and sprawling out from downtown to the Pacific Ocean to the San Fernando Velley. But the city of angels has had almost 250 years of haunted history since it was founded in 1781.
While traveling through Canada a few weeks ago, I was ecstatic to find my flight from Toronto to Saskatoon had arrived 19 minutes early. Having got into the city a bit earlier than expected, I popped into the Remai Modern museum before it closed. A few days later, on the final leg of my jaunt from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, back to Newark Liberty International, via Toronto, the first leg was also 19 minutes early, and the second a whole 22 minutes ahead of schedule.
Solo travel is on the rise as travellers seek greater freedom and independence.
A watch was assembled for the first time at an altitude of over 30,000 ft, thanks to a unique collaboration between Geneva Tourism and Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS). A groundbreaking collaboration between Geneva Tourism, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), and SWISS has emerged to celebrate Swiss quality and craftsmanship. At a cruising altitude of 30,000 ft, a watch was meticulously assembled during an unexpected watchmaking workshop on SWISS airline’s Geneva to New York flight, showcasing the precision, craftsmanship, and watchmaking expertise of Geneva. The assembly was carried out by a flight crew member, accompanied by an independent master watchmaker. This unique and unprecedented watch will be unveiled alongside the 84 watches from the official pre-selection of the GPHG traveling exhibition in New York, where standing it will stand as a testament to Swiss excellence. Adrien Genier, Director of Geneva Tourism and member of the GPHG Foundation Board, who was attending the flight, explained the project’s genesis: “As the capital of fine watchmaking, Geneva shines the light on the entire industry worldwide. This one-of-a-kind precision endeavor allows us to take this craftsmanship on a journey.” Romain Vetter, SWISS Director for Western Switzerland, added, “Assembling a watch at 30,000 ft altitude is a fusion of two sectors that represent Swiss quality and reliability. SWISS is thrilled to enable this high-flying assembly.”
