Here it is—and almost too late…
It’s the end of September. You’re planning on a Thanksgiving or Christmas trip—and you haven’t purchased your airline tickets yet?
What are you waiting for?
It’s not going to get any cheaper, I can assure you that!
One of the big factors coming into play this year is the absence of the Boeing 737 Max aircraft that three of America’s largest carriers had to take out of service following those two crashes.
American supposedly had planned to have about 40 Max’s flying in time for the holidays.
United expected around 30. And Southwest as the aircraft’s biggest customer? Who knows how many of their 737 Max’s are parked? The numbers could be stunning.
What does that mean for you and me?
Thousands of less available daily seats and more flight cancellations during prime travel time.
Southwest has apparently removed the planes from its schedule through January 5, 2020.
United through December 19 and American through December 3.
But those dates keep changing.
Bottom line: Probably increased pricing for remaining seats ahead and during the peak Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year’s travel crush.
So if air travel is on YOUR holiday calendar this year, the time to book is NOW!
