The Essentials

A Buyer’s Market in Travel

Welcome to a brave new world of a buyer’s market in travel. This is not just in the U.S. but overseas as well.

 

And airlines, whether they like it or not, have all become low-fare carriers — at least for the remainder of this year.

 

On the diomestic front, consider $49 fares between Dallas and New York or $68 fares between Boston and San Francisco.

 

But the real deals are now overseas. There are now more than 90 destinations where the round-trip fares between the U.S. and overseas are all under $340. That’s round-trip!

 

So if you can travel responsibly and play by the rules, the time to travel  — or at least the time to plan ahead to travel — may be now.
