Holiday travelers this year can expect to find cheaper airfare, more crowded hotels, and a vast demographic of people hitting the roads as the baby boomer generation continues to retire. Airlines will likely be offering deep discounts for holiday flights to try to fill seats, and travelers should also be sure to check for flight cancellations that could save them money. Hotels will be increasingly crowded, so it may be difficult to find last-minute accommodations and prices may be higher than usual. Finally, more older travelers—many of them baby boomers—may pack some highway corridors during the holidays, adding to the traffic congestion.
