With summer coming to a close and fall on its way, travelers are eager to plan their autumn trips. Fall travel may not see the same demand as summer, but the financial benefits make it worth it for many. Travelers looking to save can take advantage of the fact that flight prices tend to lower once the summer travel season ends. Luckily, Expedia has announced several destinations offering the most savings for travelers looking to get away this fall.
Expedia looked at average prices for round-trip flights and/or accommodation rates when assembling their list of fall travel deals.

Fall Travel Tips
According to Expedia, travelers can do several other things to save more this fall. If possible, travelers should plan their vacations for the week of September 26th if they are planning to stay in the United States. Average ticket prices are predicted to be nearly half off compared to summer fares for this week, making it the best time to fly off for your fall vacation.
If you are planning to jet off to another country, your best week for travel will be the week of October 10th. Ticket prices will be about 20% less than they were over the summer, and the crowds won’t be a problem. In both cases, flying out on a Tuesday or Wednesday will offer the best fares.
