INTERVIEW: PLANNING SUMMER TRAVEL? YOU'LL HAVE LOTS OF COMPANY

April 2025

To save money, book your tickets well ahead of time, use technology and avoid popular destinations.

INTERVIEW: PLANNING SUMMER TRAVEL? YOU'LL HAVE LOTS OF COMPANY

BRIAN KELLY, founder of The Points Guy, a consumer website, is the author of How to Win at Travel.

Airfares are expected to remain high in 2025. What strategies can travelers use to lower the cost of flying? The number of people traveling is expected to increase, so you need to plan appropriately and use technology. Airfares can change multiple times a day, so you have little chance of finding cheap fares randomly on your own. Set alerts on Google Flights for routes you plan to fly so that if the price drops below a certain point, you'll be notified. In general, airfares rise more than they go down, so if you see a price that's reasonable, book it. You're guaranteed 24 hours to change your mind, so if the price drops the next day, you can rebook it without penalty.
