Book Thanksgiving Travel From RSW This Week
We Southwest Floridians have a lot of things on the “To Do” list this week as we clean up and recover from Hurricane Milton. Here is one more item if you are wanting to get out of town for the holidays. Now is the time to book Thanksgiving travel from RSW in Fort Myers if you want to score the best deals.
It might be hard to think about in wake of the stress we have all just been through. However, I like to think of it as something positive to look forward to. A holiday getaway to spend time with friends and family who you love and who love you. Sounds comforting.
When To Book Thanksgiving Travel From RSW
Travel industry experts say when it comes to best flight availability and most affordable ticket prices for Thanksgiving getaways, you should purchase tickets 45 days in advance. Hard to believe, that means today, Monday, and this week.
This month, several airlines have added new and additional non-stop routes from Fort Myers to help get you where you want to go. For example, Frontier Airlines added a direct flight to Chicago. In addition, Breeze Airways has added numerous flights to the Northeast and beyond.
Thanksgiving is just the beginning of holiday travel. For Christmas, you are advised to book those flights 58 days in advance, for the best deals. You still have a little time to plan. However, you might want to set a reminder on your phone or calendar, so you don’t forget.
Good luck in finding deals and booking those flights this week.
