For sure. And airfares don't go up every year, but this year they did. So it is not unreasonable to expect a bump next year too. And the thing about my budget is I set this budget for holiday travel. And that means like sometimes I have to make accommodations to come in under budget.

So it can give you a really good idea of what the average airfare is.

Yeah, and you can see all the data behind that on NerdWallet's website. We'll put it in the show notes, but listeners, you can find the article about the best days to book a flight and when to fly.
