Our advice? Sign up for Dollar Flight Club and set your destinations to the places you want to see most. Then, keep your fingers crossed and your eyes on your inbox to hopefully score a hot summer deal. If you want to avoid the crowds or avoid the eyebrow-raising travel prices we’ve been seeing, we also recommend considering destinations off the beaten path.
Google also found there has been an all-time high in searches regarding passports. It’s no wonder given that the demand has caused a significant delay in renewals. If you’re thinking about taking an international trip, submit your passport renewal ASAP otherwise you’ll be spending your summer sweating at home and hoping a breeze will pass by your window so you can pretend you’re on the beach.
