Flight searches, hotel bookings, and car rentals are all spiking this long weekend, and one Canadian airport alone is moving tens of thousands of people a day. The data paints a clear picture of exactly when not to travel.
There is a cheaper day hiding in that same data, and it has nothing to do with luck. It comes down to timing a departure and return around the days everyone else avoids, which most travellers never think to check.
AI tools are becoming one of the go-to ways people plan trips now, but a side-by-side test against real airline pricing found the recommendations kept missing the mark. The gap between what AI promises and what the fare actually costs is bigger than expected.
