Also: Why now is a good time to visit Maui August 9, 2024 [THE POINTS GUY]( [View in browser]( [TPG Daily NEWSLETTER]( [THE POINTS GUY]( Time to plan that autumn trip by Sean Cudahy, Aviation Reporter [TPG | Hero Image] “Airfare is so expensive right now.” Just about all of us uttered that phrase at some point over the last few years. Right now, though, we’re seeing a pretty [refreshing change of pace](. Sure, you might get unlucky on a particular flight, route or day, but if you have flexibility, there are still deals to be found. All summer, TPG has been following a [wealth of flight deals and discounts]( that just weren’t available a year or two ago ... and that’s with the traditionally cheaper autumn “shoulder season” months still ahead of us. Make no mistake: People are traveling! The crowds at airports set all-time records in June and July. However, airlines have added so many flights that they’re now scrambling to fill seats — and that means fare battles, promos and deals! Will it last? The airlines (and their shareholders) hope not. Many are [adding and cutting tons of routes]( to try and shake things up. For now, it’s a great time to look into booking a fall trip; there are tons of flight options, including to Europe, well into the autumn months. You might even be able to find a bargain on a last-minute, end-of-summer getaway. I, for one, am redeeming a big stash of [American Express Membership Rewards]( points for a September week in Italy, after (I hope) the biggest crowds subside.
