Travel Deal of the Day (June 23, 2009)

If you are traveling for the July 4th holiday weekend, you may save money by strategically selecting your travel dates.

The Deal:
You will likely save money on airfare when traveling for the July 4th holiday weekend by avoiding travel on Friday July 3 and Sunday July 5. These two dates will likely have the highest demand, so the cheapest fares will likely be available on other dates. Be sure to check fares for travel on July 2nd, 4th and 6th to find the best fares. As always, check all possible airports near your preferred departure and arrival cities. In addition, watch out for great last minute deals starting this week - with the decline in travel demand, travel retailers will likely offer promotions to spark demand.
