Traveling this fall? 8 expert tips to score the best deals.

Fall travel, with its slimmer airfares, reduced hotel costs, and uncrowded venues, isn’t quite the secret travel hack it once was.

But the season still offers sweet savings and other perks.

“Travel is strong this fall, despite the uncertainty going into the year about the economy and how it was going to affect people’s travel plans,” Melanie Fish, Expedia Group’s travel expert, told Yahoo Finance. “That hasn’t been the case. More and more people are realizing this is that magic window where crowds and prices are down, and the weather is still great.”

In fact, all the travel sites I canvassed, including Expedia, Hopper, KAYAK, and Road Scholar, report higher search volume for fall trips than last year.

But that doesn’t mean the savings have faded away.

“With summer in the rearview, shoulder season is when the real travel deals kick in,” Kate Williams, KAYAK’s chief communications officer, told Yahoo Finance. “This fall, we’re seeing lower prices across the board — from international and domestic flights to hotels and rental cars. It’s the perfect time to travel without the crowds and sticker shock of peak summer.”

That’s a relief considering airfares climbed 5.9% in August after a 4% gain in July.

Compared to peak summer, international round‑trip flights are now down 33%, per KAYAK’s data. US domestic flights are 21% cheaper, rental cars are 19% more affordable, and international hotel stays have dipped by up to 10%.

“When people see some of the discounts, especially with airfares, it changes their whole mindset from ‘I can’t afford to go there’ to ‘Wait … I can, and there won’t be a gazillion people there,’” Sandy Altamirano, a AAA travel advisor, said.

The top international destinations for deals this fall are Tokyo, Cancun, Paris, Rome, and London, Fish said.

Europe is the standout for US travelers: Airfare is more than a third lower compared to summer with Spain leading the way, per KAYAK.

Four Spanish cities made the top 10 for biggest flight price cuts, with fares nearly half the peak summer ticket — Madrid, Barcelona, Alicante, and Malaga. Other similar big international drops include Bologna, Italy and Helsinki.

Domestic travelers can find deals in Las Vegas, Orlando, and Miami. While New York City has typically been a popular fall traveler destination, hotel prices there are holding at peak tourist season prices, Fish said.

Add to that roster these US cities — Seattle, Oakland, Jackson, Wyo., and Hilo, Hawaii — with fares roughly 30% lower than they were over the summer months, according to KAYAK data.
