Now’s the time to make your upcoming holiday plans, before cheap Thanksgiving flights are all booked up. Flight sales from airlines like United, Southwest and JetBlue are still taking shape, but – generally speaking – low-fare deals during the busiest travel weekend in the country can be hard to find. For starters, if you’re not set on a specific location, consider a spot that’ll guarantee cheap Thanksgiving flights (hint: not Florida).
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
The historic New England gem comes alive in the fall, and cheap Thanksgiving flights are surprisingly simple to find. That combination alone justifies a holiday trip to Boston, one of America’s greatest treasures. Spend a day exploring the waterfront, have a cup of chowder and stroll through the charming North End. If there’s time between sightseeing and turkey eating, drive outside of Boston for the day to Lexington, Concord or one of the many nearby towns. As you’re sure to see, the fall foliage can’t be beat.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States
Many Midwesterners take advantage of the long holiday weekend by flying to warmer climates, leaving you the chance to snag cheap Thanksgiving flights to Milwaukee. There’s no better place to try beer and brats outside of Germany – a perfect diet for an autumn weekend. Stop by the Milwaukee Ale House for grub, or take a tour of the MillerCoors Brewery, a festive way to celebrate this country’s history.
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Landing cheap Thanksgiving flights is easiest if your destination doesn’t actually celebrate Thanksgiving – or, it does a month before. Head north to Canada and wander around the intoxicating city of Montreal this Thanksgiving. Its distinct boroughs, year-round ice skating and overall charm sets the scene for a great weekend away. Trade in the mashed potatoes for poutine, a heaping plate of French fries, gravy and cheese curds. It may not be reminiscent of grandma’s gravy, but it’s just as good!
