\u201cWhen it comes to affordability and heavy savings, strategy is key for those planning an unforgettable beach getaway,\u201d said Brian Wolf, general manager of CheapTickets.com. \u201cBy opting to travel between spring and summer as opposed to the peak of winter or summer seasons, travelers can stretch their dollars and opt for destinations that are a little farther away and generally considered more expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n
