This gratitude and turkey-filled holiday is one of the busiest travel weekends of the year – which can result in paying shockingly high prices to get home to your loved ones if you need to fly. The Star reached out to Mary Zajac, public relations specialist at Expedia Canada, for her top tips on saving money on Thanksgiving travel – plus we threw in a few of our own pointers for good measure. • Book ahead: A recent analysis of Expedia Canada’s 2016 flight data suggest booking travel between 31 to 60 days in advance of holidays can save travellers up to 10 per cent. • Avoid Friday: According to the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) data, some days are better than others to book flights on – and Friday is the most expensive day to book a trip. This timing is actually better for travellers, as they typically have more time [to book] on the weekend.”
