How to maximize your airfare savings this holiday season

So-called ‘drip pricing’ can make it difficult to determine the total cost of airline tickets and vacation rentals.
If world travel speaks to your soul, then you already know how life-changing it can be to journey to distant lands in search of something new. We've gathered a list of some of the most interesting destinations around the world, including historical hot spots, cultural melting pots and beautiful lots all waiting to be explored. Grab your passports and take a look at our picks for the 50 places in the world everyone should see before they shuffle off this mortal coil.

If you’re flying over the holidays this winter, you’ll want to start flight shopping soon. Because according to travel comparison site Hipmunk, the best deals will expire by mid-October. 

Want to really double down on savings this holiday season? For American travelers flying over US Thanksgiving, Hipmunk recommends booking your flight in early October to see savings of up to 23 percent. 

But if you can travel on the day of Thanksgiving, you could also save up to 21 percent compared to the most expensive departure date, Thanksgiving “Eve.” 

The same formula applies for Christmas travel. 

Book by the week of Oct. 15 and flyers can shave up to 25 percent off their flight. Traveling on Christmas Day can also save flyers another 20 percent compared to Friday, Dec. 21, the most expensive departure date. 

Other flight savings strategies include flying into an alternate airport, choosing basic economy instead of coach, and setting fare alerts to track the best prices for your destinations.
