CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Another Labor Day is in the books, but fall gives us lots of opportunities to get away, and usually at lower prices.
Beach season may be drawing to a close, but fall offers plenty of opportunities to hit the road or take to the skies without the crowds and peak price tags. According to TripAdvisor top fall destinations include New York, Boston, Orlando, Las Vegas and San Francisco. Two east coast cities top that list in a a region where fall foliage is a prime attraction.
According to GasBuddy.com drivers received relief during the long weekend with the cheapest Labor Day weekend gas prices since 2010.
And good news for those wanting to take a fall drive, prices should drop even lower in late September when gas stations stop selling the more expensive summer blends at the pump. GasBuddy expects the national average to bottom out between $3.15 and $3.25 a gallon later this year. That average is bumped higher by higher prices on the west coast. Drivers east of the Rockies could even see prices dip below $3 per gallon.
In the skies, fall is a shoulder season until the airlines get closer to the Thanksgiving rush.
It’s never too early to eye those holiday fares, even if you think it may be. Those seats really do fill up fast.
