Holiday travel plans are usually made many months in advance. But this year, we've already hit mid-November and travelers say they still have no idea what their Thanksgiving or winter holiday plans will look like.
Given the pandemic, there are many reasons to hold off booking holiday travel this year: “My husband is not comfortable with flying so we will most likely take a last minute road trip depending on how we feel,” @coleyraeh said in response to a poll on the @cntraveler Instagram. “A low case rate the two weeks after Thanksgiving will help me decide on Christmas travel,” said @kate_nem. User @lanmoura says they're “waiting to see if [my preferred] airline (Southwest) will continue to leave the middle seat empty after 11/30.” And for others, like @beneluxetravel, it's a matter of evolving travel restrictions—and if a visit home will even be feasible when the holidays roll around.
It might also come down to putting off the inevitable: “I know [going home] is not the responsible thing to do, but I know my family will be really bummed out, so I’m waiting for someone else in the family to pull the plug,” says @littleriverupstate.
Suffice to say, there are many reasons to wait until the very last minute to book holiday travel this year, whether you're thinking about heading home, or somewhere else. If you're holding off on booking, here are a few things to keep in mind as those big dates inch closer.
