When the holidays seem far off, making travel reservations is the last thing on their minds. It s quick and easy, and travel agents will make it as painless as possible. When booking airline tickets, most people ask for the cheapest price. However, the cheapest ticket may not be the best option. Instead of going for the cheapest rate, travelers really need to be weather wise.
Many cheap tickets have connections through major hubs in the Midwest and the East Coast.
In rainy November, that s not a problem. But in December, be prepared for ice, sleet, hail, and snow the dreaded foursome that can ruin any trip. Whenever possible, pay the extra money and fly direct. If that s not an option, then try to secure a connection through a city that s less likely to be affected by the weather. This cannot be emphasized enough.
