We're seeing hotels cost a lot more than they did a few years ago.
And because of that, you don't want...
hotel to make what was supposed to be a cheap vacation into a huge money pit.
So it's good to double check what hotel availability there is and how much those rooms are going to cost before you book the flight.
First off, book it soon if you have not done so already.
But especially one thing to keep in mind when you're booking award travel is that airlines don't just let all of their seats necessarily be booked using points.
They will oftentimes reserve a certain number of seats for awards bookings.
And then after that, they need to get the cash for themselves.
So there's not going to necessarily be the same sort of availability of seats on planes for awards bookings necessarily.
And then the other thing to keep in mind is just it's going to cost more in points to book flights during Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays.
So keep that in mind when you're pricing things out.
Again, there are probably great deals to be had.
Or it can be a really nice way to not spend a little bit of extra money when you're spending lots on presents for everyone.
So it can certainly make holiday travel more financially feasible, but it's not foolproof.

You can get up and walk around.
You can appreciate the views in a different way than you can in the air.
Correct.
We are talking about what they refer to as intercity trains.
