Keep Your Travel Costs in Check

#Airfares are ticking up due to increases in #fuel costs related to the Iran War, making many people scale back on their #summer #vacation plans to avoid overspending. Overall #travel costs are up 11% from 2025 and airfares are up 6.9%, according to NerdWallet, so plan ahead to keep costs in check. Book airfares sooner than later, or fly using airline points and miles. And when budgeting, factor in increases in the prices of all travel needs, including lodging, rental cars and even meals. Do some grocery shopping and bring snacks from home rather than dining out for every meal. #TravelTips
