Two months before departure: Book your flights
The best way to plan a trip to is to book flights at least two months prior to departure. This is because airlines won't reduce their prices if all of their seats are booked. You'll also pay more if it's too late. You can sign up for email alerts via travel websites for free and be notified about any fare discounts.
If you're traveling internationally, the best time to book flights is three to six months in advance. However, it depends on the destination. You can save money on flights to Canada if booked two months prior to your departure date. Other destinations, such as the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and the Middle East, also benefit from early booking.
Use a road trip planner
Planning a road trip can be very helpful. It can help you plan multi-stop trips and can also help you estimate how long it will take you to get to each destination. If you know the time it will take to get to your destination, the planner can help you calculate that amount. You can also use apps that can help you navigate, such as Waze, which has speed tracking and traffic enforcement features.
First, choose what you want to do during your road trip. You have options. You could drive across the country, go to a specific region, or drive to the most popular cities in the world. You can stop at many different places as you go, including famous skylines and national parks. You can choose to visit one or more places on a road trip.
