New York (PRWEB) August 07, 2013
CheapOair announced today its most popular destinations for the upcoming Labor Day weekend based on customers’ purchase patterns year over year. While roundtrip airfare to both domestic and international destinations has increased, CheapOair data reveals there are still deals to be found for customers looking to take advantage of the long weekend.
Travel to domestic destinations remains affordable, with airfare to many top destinations seeing only a 3—4 percent increase. While airfare to Las Vegas, the most popular U.S. destination for the Labor Day Weekend, is up 24 percent, roundtrip tickets are still only $345. Flights to major cities like New York and family destinations like Orlando, up 4 percent, are only $271 and $333, respectively.

Although prices to CheapOair’s popular international destinations saw a more significant increase this year, airfare to more exotic and inspirational destinations are not much more than a domestic ticket.
