Today, travel booking app Hopper announced that Travel Deal Tuesday, sometimes called "Travel Tuesday", is returning on November 28th for the seventh year in a row. Travel Deal Tuesday is a national shopping event where consumers can expect to see more deals on travel than any other day in the post-Thanksgiving sales period.

Hopper collects 25 to 30 billion flight and hotel price quotes every day and has built a huge historical archive of trillions of prices from over the past several years. The company analyzed its historical pricing data and found that over the past seven years, Travel Deal Tuesday, the Tuesday following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, has been the biggest day for travel deals during the holiday sales week.

Domestic airfare will rise slightly (+7%) to $321 per round trip ticket in May then rise 5% more to peak in June at $328. Peak summer airfare in June will be 10% lower than the record peak at $400 per ticket in June 2022, but remains 4% higher than pre-pandemic 2019 prices. Airfare will fall seasonally each month from July to August as travelers book trips for the shoulder season. Fares in late summer and early fall are expected to be in line with pre pandemic prices.

International travelers are in for some sticker shock this year. High demand and lower supply on international routes is driving airfare to the highest levels in at least 5 years. Europe and Asia will capture more than half of international demand this summer, but will see some of the highest price increases in the last 4 years at least. Airfare to Europe is 24% higher than pre-pandemic, while airfare to Asia has surged to 60% higher.

For trips in the US, travelers are paying premiums as high as $123 per night (New York City) for access to a pool. In Florida, where warm weather attracts visitors from around the world, travelers are spending $30 more per night for pool access. Travelers also remain willing to shell out more for the convenience of including their four legged friends in trips last year, with 60% of Hopper hotel bookings in 2022 for pet friendly properties. Across major cities in the US the pet friendly premium ranged from 30% more per night to 51% more per night.

American travelers headed across Europe will be looking for accommodations while on their trips, and are likely to feel some sticker shock compared to last summer. European hotels are averaging $205 per night, up 37% from this time last year. Prices in some top cities have risen even more compared to last summer, including Rome (+63%) and Madrid (+41%).

Hopper users are booking stays in top cities like London, Paris and Barcelona for early summer getaways. Destinations off the beaten path like Manchester and Birmingham have also topped the rankings. Travelers booking European hotels are staying a little longer this summer, with most stays close to 2 nights, compared to 1.7 nights on average last summer. Though prices are higher this summer, travelers continue to book more last minute. Hopper bookers are reserving their stays 7-8 weeks in advance compared to 9-10 weeks in advance last year.

Rentals for Christmas are currently averaging $53 per day, in line with prices at this time last year. Most Christmas travelers are also looking for a 5 day rental, likely due to the holiday falling over a long weekend similar to last Christmas.

Be flexible on travel dates: Save over $100 off peak airfare by flying on less popular dates before and after each holiday week. For Thanksgiving, flying the Monday of Thanksgiving week and returning any week day of the following week will save you the most. Similarly, departing the Monday or Tuesday before Christmas weekend and returning midweek following the holiday will get you the most bang for your buck.

Book airfare by Saturday, October 14th: Airfare will remain low, but volatile (moving up and down day to day) through early October, before rising in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Over the next few weeks while prices are volatile, travelers who are proactively monitoring prices could get notified of great, time sensitive deals.

Thanksgiving travelers are in luck this holiday season, with fares averaging $268 per ticket, down -14% from this time last year and down -7% from 2019 prices. International travelers will see price relief compared to last year, but should expect prices to remain high as they average well above pre pandemic levels. Airfare to Mexico and the Caribbean, popular regions for Thanksgiving getaways, remains 5% - 11% higher than pre pandemic with prices averaging between $425 - $500 per ticket.

Travelers looking to get the best prices for domestic Thanksgiving trips should plan to be flexible on their travel dates. Departing the week before Thanksgiving or on the Monday ahead of the holiday will save travelers the most. Savvy travelers will save 20% or $57 per ticket by departing on the Thursday before Thanksgiving (11/16) instead of taking a weekend flight. While those more last minute travelers can save 13% or $37 per ticket by flying Monday the week of Thanksgiving (11/20).

Following a weekend of turkey, football and shopping, airports will be packed on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. This is the most popular day to return for Thanksgiving travelers, and also the most expensive. Travelers returning on Sunday will pay a 40% premium, or $121 per ticket more than those travelers who return the following day, Monday. Skip the Sunday return and fly home on Black Friday, or Monday November 27th to pack on the savings.

Travelers looking to get the best prices for international Thanksgiving trips should plan to leave departure closer to the holiday. Departing Tuesday or Wednesday before Thanksgiving will get travelers the best deals, with average international fares 16% or $145 per ticket lower than departing Friday before the holiday week.

As with domestic travelers, those grabbing their passports should plan to return after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, aiming for Monday or Tuesday arrivals. Travelers returning after the weekend will save an average of 20% off peak weekend fares, about $200 per ticket.

The absolute lowest prices for Christmas travel are for flights departing on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Departing on these holiday dates will save travelers 26% off peak prices, about $114 per ticket on domestic routes. Fares will be highest for departures on the Friday before Christmas, December 22nd, as travelers look to make a long weekend out of the holiday.

In a survey of Hopper users, 86% of holiday travelers said they plan to fly for one or both holidays this year. Despite this, just 13% of travelers have booked their flights, hotels and rental cars. Though jet fuel prices are currently averaging $3.15 per gallon, down 5.5% from this time last year, prices have risen by 50% from a low of $2.09 per gallon earlier this summer. As fuel prices continue to rise into the holiday season, travelers should expect holiday airfare to rise as well, with fewer deals available at the last minute than last year.

Take the first flight out: In general, flights departing after 9am are 2X more likely to be delayed than departures scheduled between 5-8am. To avoid travel disruption, fly as early in the morning as possible.

Fly direct: You will usually pay a premium to fly direct, rather than with stops, but it may be worth the cost for travelers concerned about getting to their destination on time. Missed connections following flight delays or cancellations can make getting to your destination on time challenging during busy travel periods marred by bad weather or other disruptions.

Book with flexibility: With recent disruptions at the airport, travelers may want to consider adding extra flexibility to their travel plans in the future in case they want to make last minute changes. Travelers should take advantage of plans like Cancel for Any Reason or Change for Any Reason available on the Hopper app. With these plans, Hopper pays the difference to the airline if you make changes or cancel your trip all together - with no additional cost to the traveler.

Car rentals for Thanksgiving are currently averaging $42 per day, down -17% from $52 per day at this time last year. Most Thanksgiving travelers are looking for a 5 day rental to make a long weekend out of the holiday. Rentals for Christmas are currently averaging $53 per day, in line with prices at this time last year. Most Christmas travelers are also looking for a 5 day rental, likely due to the holiday falling over a long weekend similar to last Christmas. Though gas prices have improved from summer 2022 highs, prices have risen gradually throughout this year. Today gas prices are about 13% higher than this time last year, and increasing each week. Travelers should budget for potentially higher prices as the holidays approach.

Typically, booking at the last minute will get travelers the best deal on car rentals. However, with lower supply of rental vehicles in the market and a busy holiday season ahead, waiting until the last minute could mean there are no vehicles left to book! Plan to book rental cars at the same time as holiday flights to ensure you have a car waiting for you at pick up. 2351a5e196
