Fall Vacations: Why They Often Outshine Summer Getaways in Terms of Value

When it comes to planning a vacation, many of us assume that the timing of our trip is determined by the month. However, according to Ilya Rusyaev, founder of the business community 'Rusyaev Club', the real deciding factor is how much we lose in salary during our time off. Rusyaev explained to the 'Prime' agency that the difference in cost lies in the portion of our salary that we forfeit for the working days we miss. This year, September and October each have 22 working days, while July has 23, and June and August have 21. The more working days in a month, the cheaper each day becomes, resulting in lower losses during our vacation. As it turns out, the autumn months of September and October are more cost-effective than August and June, with July only slightly edging out the fall season. Additionally, flights and accommodations tend to be cheaper during this time, providing even more savings. Rusyaev advises against choosing months with holidays, as these days are not included in our vacation time and the working days that remain are more expensive. Instead, he recommends opting for September and October, which offer a comfortable and financially beneficial getaway.
