Just because the holiday travel season is long
gone doesn’t mean that you have to hunker down at home until the summer! We
know we know…we get it! Summer is better because the weather is warmer and the
kids are on summer break. Speaking of break, saving your vacation for summer is
sure to break one thing, the bank! Instead, choose to travel during the “shoulder
season,” the period between the off and peak seasons. This time of year usually
brings calmer airports, less crowded destinations, and much more bang for your
buck. When planning your shoulder season getaway, keep these helpful tips in
mind:
1. Don’t inconvenience yourself trying to save
money. Off season is “off” for a reason, and, as a result, prices are
cheaper. You will be able to get the same vacation for half the price.
2. Check the weather for your desired
destination. If you are from Michigan, a European vacation with weather in
the 40’s will be pleasant. If you are from Florida, it will be freezing cold.
Don’t let your idea of bad weather ruin your trip!
3. Investigate your destination. Just
because it is the low season in the United States doesn’t mean it will be the
low season in India. Check the local customs of the location you will be
visiting to ensure that no cultural holidays will be going on during your stay.
4. Don’t let multiple high seasons leave you
in a muddle! That’s right; some places have multiple high seasons. Ski
resorts are packed during the winter, but are also popular during the summer
where outdoor enthusiasts flock for hiking, biking and rock climbing. Choose
your destination wisely.
5. Not sure when the shoulder season is? Investigate
local hotel websites and see when they are changing peak rats. No rates listed?
Just research rooms on various dates and see what pops up!
