This week’s Travel Hack: Shoulder Season + Flight Positioning = SAVE MONEY ON FLIGHTS
Dominating the Shoulder Season
Forget peak season crowds and sky-high prices. Forbes magazine recently posted a great article on why shoulder seasons are really the IT Girl of the best times to travel. This is those delightful periods between peak and off-season. Whether you're going to Hawaii, Egypt or the White Sands of the Caribbean, you want these travel hacks packed along with your passport.
Benefits include
* Fewer Crowds: The ability to live a softer life and a slower pace and enjoy a more authentic experience.
* Pleasant Weather: Shoulder seasons often boast comfortable temperatures, perfect for sightseeing or outdoor activities.
* Budget-Friendly: Flights and accommodation are significantly cheaper during these times.
Flight Positioning: Add this to planning around shoulder season and you’re unstoppable
Sometimes, the best deals aren't available from your local airport. Flight positioning involves booking a separate flight to a major hub airport, where you can then snag a significantly cheaper international flight. Here's how it works:
* Identify Major Hub Airports: Research major airline hubs known for frequent deals (e.g., Atlanta for Delta, Chicago for United).
* Compare Flight Prices: See if a separate flight to the hub, followed by your main flight, is cheaper than a direct flight from your local airport.
* Consider Stopovers: Some airlines allow stopovers for minimal fees, turning your positioning flight into a mini-adventure!
In this travel hack tutorial I show you how I got amazing 2024 flight deals on both Delta and American Airlines.
