Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Travelers are rethinking their plans due to global events and rising prices. Some are choosing cheaper destinations, while others are booking flights earlier than usual. The Points Guy recommends booking flights now and monitoring prices to get ahead of potential price increases. The survey also found that 66% of U.S. travelers with upcoming travel plans haven’t changed their plans, but 34% say they will travel domestically rather than internationally if geopolitical tensions or safety concerns continue to rise.
And, as always, the search for a safer, more affordable, and more predictable escape continues.
