Affordable Holiday Travel Is Possible, Even for Procrastinators

For the procrastinators out there who have put off booking their holiday travel tickets, there’s still a glimmer of hope. Of course, fares aren’t necessarily cheap: online booking algorithms have gotten so good that lazy bookers aren’t rewarded with cheap tickets. Still, you can salvage the situation wrought by your negligence. Tactics to lessen the pain on your wallet include traveling on the actual holiday, flying into alternative airports, booking non-direct flights, shedding extra baggage and scoring package deals. Though you won't secure bargains this late in the game for your trip home, you can still protect your budget.
