20 Second Advisor: Summer travel tips

Summer is in full swing. Are you thinking of taking a summer trip? Here are some travel tips to help you navigate the soaring gas prices, airfare, and hotel fares.
- Consider going to Europe; the dollar is strong relative to the Euro
- One place to search for the best room rates is Hotels.com’s new Hot Price Index
- Not all summer months are priced the same; consider doing your trip in August or even September if you don’t have to worry about the school calendar
- For domestic flights, Sunday is the most expensive day to travel
- For international flights, Thursday is the cheapest day to travel
- Book flights 2 weeks to a month in advance; that is the sweet spot in getting the best price
- Consider combining two one-way tickets on different airlines, which can save money over a traditional round-trip
- For a good car rental deal, turn to AutoSlash
- Bundling your flight, hotel, and/or rental car all in one booking can also cut down costs
