If you're planning on traveling this Holiday season, the chance of you getting cheap airline tickets are pretty nil and in some places, the chance of you booking a flight also dwindles. There's a lot of people trying to get home for the holidays and cheap tickets are hard to come by because airlines know these. Cheap hotels are almost nonexistent during the holiday season as this is usually their peak season. I've tried booking someone in a local hotel and their rates are way too high.

Of course, if you're really desperate to go home but can't score cheap airline tickets, you can always try using the bus. Of course, travel time would double so it's good that you leave early to arrive just in time for the Holidays. So next year, be sure to score your tickets early so you can avail of any early bird discounts in airlines and hotels.
