(EIONET) defines traveling off-peak as "traveling outside
rush-hours to avoid overcrowding in public means of transport."
This sounds all too simple and as we might expect - easier said
than done. For both air and car travel, avoid the crowds by
traveling during the week, especially from Tuesday through
Thursday. An added bonus is that airfares for travel Tuesday
through Thursday are usually cheaper.
Mid-morning and late afternoon flights tend to be less crowded,
plus you can really avoid commute traffic during this time. This
site also offers the load on late-night flights (also known as
red-eye flights for obvious reasons): these flights can help you
avoid traffic but it's only effective if you can sleep sitting
up-right on a plane!
And did you know that traveling off-peak means traveling during
holidays (not before or after) when airfares are lower and
there's less road traffic? Some of the most affordable travel
deals of the year can be found in the fall. If you find super
off-peak dates that fall between major holidays, strike while
the iron is hot. Book immediately with your discount travel
broker. Never hesitate!
Pet Friendly Travel � 10 Tips for Hassle-Free Travel with Your Pet
In the United States alone, over 60 million households have one or more pets. Pet owners in 15 million of those households travel with their pet, and the majority stay in pet-friendly lodging. Fortunately, pet friendly hotels, condos and vacation home rentals do exist. If you will be traveling with your pet, here are some pet friendly tips to remember for safe and trouble-free travel.
1 - When you make your reservation, double-check that pets are allowed. An important advantage of reserving online is that you can see - in writing - whether or not pets are permitted and any restriction ..
One great example of saving money by traveling off-peak is
flying to the Caribbean during the North American winter months
rather than during summer. You might say what's the point in
going to the Caribbean in winter when you're going there to
savor the beaches? But the fact is, there is hardly such a thing
as winter in the Caribbean as it stays warm most of the year. In
fact, it's not a good idea to fly there during the peak season
(I.e., summer months) as this is the period when the hurricanes
usually come.
By traveling off-peak, not only will you get cheaper flights and
accommodations. You will also gain a difference perspective on
travel - especially the added advantage of enjoying your dream
destinations without huddling with the masses of tourists during
holidays. It also helps to subscribe to online newsletters of
discount air travel brokers such as Jestgo or WesJet. By having
yourself included in these companies' mailing list, you can get
your hands on off-peak travel promotions faster than those who
didn't. So you see, it's not just the air miles!

Finally, book your flight early to secure the most gains from
traveling off-peak. One year's planning can certainly help you
reap the reward of the cheapest airfares possible! On the other
hand, booking last minute can also have its rewards. If you're
the kind who can leave at a moment's notice, you can save a lot
from last-minute flights and accommodations. After all, airlines
and hotels would rather greatly discount their seats and rooms
than leave them empty!
