Why Take a Vacation in the Fall
If you’ve just realized it’s August and you still haven’t been anywhere, don’t despair. Fall isn’t just cute jackets, it’s travel suggestions.
Summer is mostly over, so let’s do our best from the natural cycle and enjoy the drop in prices on pretty much everything from airfare to event tickets. Creditcards.com recommends several ways to save money by simply starting a vacation right when everyone is serious about work again. But there are many good reasons, besides cold cash, to get a day off at the end of September.
Weather
In the last month, I have traveled across the states from north to south. Do you know what all the places I’ve visited have in common? They were hot as hell . Some were hot and humid, others dry, and some were hot, although almost none of the buildings had air conditioning. Climate change is a nightmare. On the other hand, as the seasons change, the situation will start to cool down (hopefully).
You don’t have to go on a tour of Vermont to appreciate this change. Go somewhere, such as the Grand Canyon for hiking, or Santa Fe, or other places with an average of ten degrees cooler in October. These ten degrees will go a long way if you enjoy outdoor activities, but it won’t be so cold that the kayak rentals are closed. Ideally.
Crowds
Unlike you, most people have recklessly fought in the heat to improve their tourism, even though giant twines and historic landmarks will remain there in a few months. If you have children, you probably need to take them with you and their school holidays during the summer. But even people with kids can enjoy their fall weekend getaway, when fewer people compete to photograph against any famous mural you find.
If you don’t have children, go crazy! Crowds have dropped significantly, according to US News. More space in hotels, restaurants and special attractions. This not only relaxes, but also gives an added bonus: everything is cheaper.
Saving money at your destination
There are many places that cut their ticket prices in the fall because they know that fewer people are traveling and want to attract customers. This includes Disney World, where ticket prices are about the same, but nearby hotels often offer a 30 percent discount, according to Dougles Stallings, editorial director at Fodor’s.
Stallings also suggested that prices would fall across the continent – Europe:
“Much of Europe is seasonal, so prices fall after Labor Day – and they could drop as much as 40 percent,” Stallings says, acknowledging that fall and early spring are his favorite times to travel there.
It really reminds people to check the weather because it can get rainy and cold in Northern Europe after mid-October, but the weather is fine in the south, and countries like Italy, Greece, and Croatia often have beaches to enjoy. That sounds good.
Saving money on air tickets
Airlines are also in cahoots with this fall tourist movement. Since autumn is a less popular time to travel, many flights are considered off-peak, which means they are cheaper. If you have many airline miles, it’s time to use them because there are more flights available to you. You will have to spend fewer miles on flights.
If you are convinced and about booking this vacay, keep one warning in mind: this is hurricane season in a number of places, so you probably want to invest some of these savings in travel insurance and choose a location less affected by rainy weather. … Then keep in mind that some locations are suitable for festivals at the end of the month of the year. You probably don’t want to go to Germany during the Oktoberfest. Or maybe you will, but in that case, spend money.
