Cheapest Months to Travel

Forget about seeing cherry blossoms if you travel to Washington, DC in January. They emerge in spring, when hotel rates are highest.

Even if funds are low and you need to travel on the cheap, you can still visit some of the most popular destinations in the world and have an unforgettable honeymoon or romantic getaway.

How's that? In travel, like love, timing is everything.

January is the Cheapest Time to Visit...

February is the Cheapest Time to Visit... March is the Cheapest Time to Visit... April is the Cheapest Time to Visit... May is the Cheapest Time to Visit... June is the Cheapest Time to Visit... July is the Cheapest Time to Visit... August is the Cheapest Time to Visit... September is the Cheapest Time to Visit... October is the Cheapest Time to Visit... November is the Cheapest Time to Visit... December is the Cheapest Time to Visit... The people at CheapTickets, an online travel agency dedicated to budget-conscious travelers, determined the least expensive times to tour these top spots. Go off season, and you can score significantly cheaper airfares. Hotel room rates will be lower, too.

What do you sacrifice with cheap travel? You won't be able to enjoy a ski resort when it's covered with snow; you'll have to visit in summer. And it helps if the heat doesn't bother you, since that's the time when it is cheapest to travel to places such as Phoenix, Albuquerque, and Las Vegas.

If you can appreciate a place before the crowds arrive or after they have moved on, and you don't mind taking your trip during the off season, you can save as much as 50 percent by visiting these places in the specified months.
