Travel Deal of the Day (November 7, 2008)

If you have not purchased your Thanksgiving tickets yet, you are in luck – due to the current economic conditions, there are many good fares available.

The Deal:

Be flexible to find excellent Thanksgiving fares this year. Try flying on Thanksgiving day and returning on Saturday November 29 or Monday December 1 to find good fares. (Actually, the best fares are on Friday November 28 or Tuesday December 2.) I just checked our fare for Thanksgiving and it actually went down, which definitely has not happened the last few years. This indicates that many seats are still available - so if you are traveling for Thanksgiving and you do not have a ticket, you may find an excellent deal.
