It happens every year. As the days and weeks tick by, you know you need to crack open the wallet to book your Thanksgiving, Christmas and/or New Year's travel plans but you keep putting it off, hoping that a fantastic deal will miraculously drop into your lap. If you're still unsure about where to go, consider Orlando and New York, two destinations served by direct flights from San Francisco and which top travelers' list for all three holidays based upon recent bookings made on Orbitz.com.
Orlando
It's easy to see why Orlando is a popular destination for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. The city's pleasant weather draws those wanting to get away from freezing temperatures while the plethora of amusement parks, namely Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld and Busch Gardens, attracts families looking for good old fashioned fun. For discount attraction tickets, a full listing of holiday events and suggestions for where to stay, head over to Visit Orlando, Orlando's official tourist site. Be sure to pick up a free Magicard, which entitles you to discounts for restaurants, shopping, area attractions and hotels. Some of the deals you'll get with the Magicard include 40 percent off two nights or 50 percent off three nights or more at the Best Western Plus Orlando Gateway and two tickets to the Orlando Science Center for the price of one.
New York
Even with sky-high hotel rates and terrible weather, travelers continue to go gaga over New York. Blame it on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Rockettes, the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and Times Square's Countdown to New Year's Eve. New York City's official tourism site, nycgo.com, similarly offers visitors a wealth of information and discounts. On the site, pick up one of four passes that will save you a bundle while exploring the city, incorporate their listing of weekly free events into your itinerary and book a discounted hotel package.
Wherever you decide to go, the time to book is now. With the travel demand strong for the holidays, consumers need to lock in their plans, according to Jeanenne Tornatore, senior travel editor for Orbitz.com. "The key to budget travel is to prepare ahead. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the fact of cost and budgeting is generally in the back of our minds. Considering and spending our travel budget wisely is a priority for most families. Lowering consuming and prices, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievements and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding saving money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal funds is really small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, regardless of whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel costs!..". Those who procrastinate will miss "great opportunities if travel planning is pushed back as prices are not likely to go down," Tornatore emphasizes. So what are you waiting for?
