If you're searching for flights over the holidays, those prices are going up.

But there are ways you can save - by planning your trip a few weeks later.

News 12's consumer reporter Janice Lieberman has The Real Deal to cut your travel costs.

Whether you are dreaming of flying abroad, or staying in the U.S., make your holiday plans for January or February, and save a whopping 50-80% on the price of your ticket.

Travel is lighter in January and February, so you can often catch a last minute deal.

Another hack is to book in the opposite season. Those who caught Christmas fares in July, did better than those who booked in the fall. So, if you are planning a getaway for next summer, start searching now.
