Time to Get Those Holiday Flight Tickets

Oct. 21, 2010 — -- Did you know Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away?

That's right: Nov. 25 is fast approaching and there's no time to spare.

Procrastinators are not expected to find any last-minute flight deals, and we're expecting prices for holiday travel to rise as much as 17 percent to 18 percent higher than last year.

People who avoided holiday flying last year have signaled their willingness to return. The airlines know this and are pricing flights accordingly.

You must act now.

The FareCompare Thanksgiving Flight Finder can help those who haven't purchased a ticket yet shop by day and price.

But even at this late date, there are still ways to save.
