Frequently the topic of the best time of the year to travel to save money on that next trip or on travel. The answer is that there is no universally best answer. On occasion an airline or hotel offers great deals early and raises rates later. On other occasions, you can get the best rate with a last minute reservation. As there is no 'rule of thumb', shop until you find the fare or room or rental at what you consider to be a good price - you can never know if you caught the best deal possible.
