Fall Travel Deals Worth Booking Before the Holiday Rush
If a Caribbean beach or a transatlantic cruise has been on your mind, a batch of fall travel sales offers a reason to start planning. As Thanksgiving approaches, early Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions are appearing alongside new cruise offers and airfare bargains on both domestic and international routes.
Fall is a popular time to book partly because many destinations sit between peak summer and winter holiday travel, and cruise lines reposition ships between regions, sometimes creating longer itineraries.
