Cheapest weeks to plan your summer travel

Summer’s always an ideal time to travel: School’s out, delightful weather finally takes over just about every corner of the country, and wanderlust is in full swing. In fact, a March survey conducted by Orbitz and the University of Wisconsin shows 68% of people plan on taking a summer vacation. The only problem? Summer also tends to be the most expensive time to travel.

But not to worry. We’ve gathered some Orbitz hotel booking data to figure out the best, most affordable times to travel this June, July or August. And while we expect numbers to change as we progress into the summer booking window, the information you see here for trips originating from the U.S. (to both domestic and international destinations), can give you a pretty good indication of when to book. Plus, make your trip even more affordable with our big summer hotel sale.
