Thanksgiving airfare is down 14% from last year, averaging $270 for a domestic ticket. Christmas airfare is down 12% from last year, averaging $400 for a round-trip domestic ticket. Prices are expected to rise after this weekend, so booking now is advised. Travelers can save money by flying on less popular dates, such as Monday after Thanksgiving or avoiding popular Christmas travel dates. Despite some challenges, a busy holiday travel season is expected.
