Can staying the weekend get me a cheaper ticket?

Can you save while traveling during the off-peak season?
Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most vacationers aren't traveling to certain locations. So when it's chilly, most people head to warmer places like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like our feathered friends. But in the summer, you'll find that Europe is where it's at. If you want lower airfare and avoid the crowds, travel when everyone else isn't.
