Whether we like it or not, but the summer holiday season moves inexorably to its completion. If over the warm months, you do not have time to quench your thirst of travelling, there is a great reason to catch up — labor Day.
Have you decided how are you going this holiday? I advise you not to stay at home, the more that the price of tickets this year please. This encouraging forecast released research centre of the Hopper Research.
At the beginning of September, the average domestic air fare of $255. In the previous three years of air transport services was almost $50 more expensive (from $291 to $294). Typically, even significant increases in fuel prices have failed to provoke a rise in prices of plane tickets.
According to experts, there are several reasons: first, in conditions of a rigid competition between air carriers none of them want to raise prices first. Moreover, airlines, especially low-cost airlines profit from fees. This protects them from fluctuations in gasoline prices.
Whatever it was, a sin not to take advantage of the opportunity to fly in guests on the occasion. Well, if guests are not invited, you can just make a little trip to another city. What?

The cost of tickets increases to an average of $3 a day, and two weeks before day X the numbers will rapidly climb up and right before labor Day are already far less attractive.
Great date
What are the dates to plan a trip? If you want to save money and your free time is not limited to the rigid framework, takes off on 1 September, back to back from 4 to 6 September. Don’t want to spend Saturday on the flight? On 28 and 29 August is also a good date for departure. But tickets for Friday, August 31 and Monday, September 3, will be the most expensive.
