Mark the Peaks Early
Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, and summer Fridays sell out in waves. Run a Fare Crunch search the moment dates are firm — waiting for a miracle fare rarely works on peak legs.
Shoulder Weeks Are the Hack
Arrive the week before a holiday or stay through the Tuesday after a long weekend. Demand drops while weather often stays favorable.
Mix Modes When Peaks Are Fixed
If outbound is expensive, try a nearby airport, a train segment, or splitting the group across two flights. Creativity beats a single-date obsession.
