If you like to travel on the cheap, you're apparently going to love the new year. A number of media outlets (including NBC Travel Editor, Peter Greenberg) have already dubbed 2009 the "Year of the Travel Deal" as they predict that many airlines will soon be offering discounted airfares. The Denver Travel Examiner (a.k.a. Diana Rowe) reports that, "after the holidays, travelers focus on winter vacations, spring and summer break. Airlines know this, so the first few weeks of January airlines will sweeten the deal with discounted prices when booking early."
Obviously, this is great news if you're already tracking vacation flights on Yapta.com. It means that you'll likely be receiving an email alert from Yapta very soon indicating that the flight you're interested in taking has just dropped in price. And if you've already booked a flight directly with an airline, you may be able to recover some savings. (Remember, Yapta can alert you even when your booked flights have come down in price and when you're eligible for a travel credit.)
So, if you're going to travel this year, it only makes sense to track the price of your flights BEFORE and AFTER you buy. You'll be happy you did.
