Summer Travel Bargains? They Drew First Blood... But I'm Drawing Savings!

They Expected Airfare to Be High. They Were Wrong.

Listen up. June's almost here and usually that means summer airfare's gone up the creek without a paddle. But this ain't 'Nam. This year's different. Katy Nastro from Going says finding a cheap July flight would normally be like finding a... well a reason to trust politicians. But there's a 'perfect storm' brewing. Economic jitters more flights cheaper fuel... It's all lining up for YOU to score some deals. Don't push it! Make sure you check flights ASAP.

Flexibility: Your New Best Weapon

Remember what I said? 'Nothing is over!' Well neither is your chance for a cheap vacation. Nastro's got the intel: flexibility is your best friend. Be like water my friend. Flow around those high prices. Dates destinations... be open to anything. August's your prime target if you haven't booked yet. So get out there and adapt! Now that you are prepped let's move on.

Destination: Affordability

Looking for cheap spots? Going's flagged five. Forget the jungle we're going to... Calgary Alberta. Travel from Canada's down and Calgary's got deals from $258 roundtrip. Lake Louise anyone? Next: São Paulo Brazil. Head south for pleasant weather. Deals from $355 from big cities. Plus your dollar goes further! Dublin Ireland's on the list too. Not the cheapest but affordable. Flights in the $300 $400 range from major cities. Nonstop routes are popping up like targets at the shooting range!

Cabo: Where The Heat Is On...The Savings!

San José del Cabo Mexico's next. Some avoid Mexico in summer because it gets hotter than my temper but Cabo's got the Pacific. Deals around $354 roundtrip even lower from Austin. Direct flights from the East Coast mean you can enjoy a hurricane risk free beach vacation! And lastly New England. The Northeast shines in summer. Deals around $149 roundtrip. Head to the coast or explore the mountains and lakes. So many targets... I mean options.
