The Cost Of: A price breakdown of airfare travel for the Thanksgiving holiday

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so let’s take a look at the cost of airfare holiday travel. Airfare has gone up in the last few years, so we are showing you step-by-step how to still get a deal when flying out of our area.

“Airfares are relatively in line from where they were last year. That doesn’t mean they are a lot cheaper. They are still up about 20% over the last four years,” says consumer expert Caleb Silver.

Our partners at Investopedia break down what exactly that translates to out of your wallet.

“If you are thinking about flying out from any the NYC airports, prepare to pay about $350- $450 roundtrip anywhere in the United States. If you are flying with your family of 3 or 4 people, prepare to quadruple that if you have to,” Silver adds.

That could mean anywhere from $1,400 – $1,800 for a family.

Let’s go under that amount and save you money- search all airlines and airports in the area you are traveling. You might find a better deal flying a different airline than you are used to.

Be sure to check your accumulated points for an account or your chosen credit card to cash in. Using some of those points can help eat the cost of a ticket.
