WSJ Your Money Briefing · Finding Deals on Travel Amid Higher-Priced Flights and Hotels · 17 Jan 2023 podcast

But AirDNA, which is a company that does research on short-term rentals, found that average daily rates for short-term rental stays came down as travelers got closer to the holidays compared to people who had booked it weeks before the holidays. voice-verified

And this is because the supply of short-term rentals has grown. voice-verified

So because of this, there's more competition, and property managers might discount their rentals more than last year to encourage bookings. voice-verified

It depends. voice-verified

You can definitely use them to compare fares and that can be helpful, but there can be downsides to booking through a travel site. voice-verified

So if you need to change your plans, you would have to navigate canceling both through the airline, for example, and through the travel site. voice-verified

And a lot of travelers we've talked to have had issues getting refunds when that comes up. voice-verified

In the situation that we saw recently with Southwest, over a million people were stranded because Southwest canceled their flights, which of course is different than someone saying, you know what? voice-verified

I actually can't go on this trip anymore. voice-verified

I need to reschedule. voice-verified

And so there are different protocols in place for that. voice-verified

So if you're the one rescheduling, then usually you'll get a flight voucher to take the flight at a different time. voice-verified

But if the airline cancels on you, then you're entitled to a cash refund. voice-verified

It depends what fare you bought. voice-verified

So basic economy travelers aren't usually in luck when it comes to rescheduling or getting refunds. voice-verified

And it depends what dates you're traveling and where you purchase the ticket, all of the fine print. voice-verified

Over the holidays, the average daily rates for hotels across the country hit their highest levels ever recorded. voice-verified

So after falling in November, the Consumer Price Index showed the cost of hotels rose 1.7% in December from November. voice-verified

So looking back to November, the average daily rate for U.S. voice-verified

hotels was $144 a night. voice-verified
