Of course, airfares can be unpredictable. So using last year's travel costs is a good indicator, but I always recommend baking in some flexibility. In fact, I was actually just looking at airfare prices and NerdWallet analyzes airfares every month and found that airfares... on average in December 2024, we're up 8% versus December 2023.

Sometimes you have to do that red eye for East Coast flights no matter what. But even if airfares don't go up, I think the good kind of silver lining here is that you have some money left over so you can save it or maybe use it for something else. You don't have to do that red eye or you put it towards a nice family dinner. Okay, so we talked about holiday travel.
