The world is broken. And as the world falls apart, so too does travel. The question we must ask is, what is the best way to make your way through the chaos? The answer is: not much. It is not a coincidence that 2013 was the year that the world’s worst climate event in recorded history occurred; it is not a coincidence that as the world becomes more fragile, travel becomes more fraught. It is not a coincidence that as the world becomes more vulnerable, so too does travel become more hazardous.
The world is now 7 billion people, with around 9 billion expected by the end of this century. With this population increase, and the significant increase in travel demand, there is a real possibility that the world will face a global pandemic. In this blog post, I discuss ways to prepare for this even when you are not planning to travel.
The Independence Day weekend saw a record number of travelers. In addition to the number of travelers, the pandemic has also changed the way we travel, at least for the foreseeable future.To help you navigate this post-pandemic travel boom, Hopper has compiled some helpful tips for travelers to help them save money and get the best vacation possible.

There are a few things to keep in mind when flying. It is important to buy tickets at least three weeks before departure, as two weeks before departure prices can skyrocket by twenty-five percent and only increase after that. Try to fly mid-week on Tuesdays or Wednesdays for the cheapest airfares. However, abroad, the cheapest flights are from Monday to Wednesday and the cheapest return flights are from Tuesday to Thursday.
Demand for Europe is currently much lower than for locations in the United States or Mexico. This summer, travelers can fly round trip to Lisbon, Portugal for prices starting at $546, down 52% from summer 2019. Reykjavik, Porto, Madrid and Dublin are also among the cheapest cities in Europe to fly to.
If summer tickets are still a bit expensive, try to take advantage of the low season between summer and fall. For flights departing in late August and early September, you can save 12% on airfare alone.
In terms of accommodation, the demand for domestic hotels is very high, meaning that popular holiday destinations are expensive or already fully booked. For major cities that aren’t popular holiday destinations, it’s best to book at the last minute, two weeks before your trip, when prices drop an average of 13%. Try to check in on Sunday and Monday nights, that’s when prices are about $30 cheaper. Some destinations also offer cheaper options for bed-and-breakfast hotels or vacation rentals.
If you want to rent a car, keep in mind that the prices are currently unprecedentedly high. The average price is $110 per day, and prices have increased 120% since January 2024. The most important and popular destinations have fewer seats available, such as B. Miami and Las Vegas. Be sure to book your flights in advance or choose a car rental place away from the popular tourist areas of the city.
To get the best value for your money, go to secondary cities rather than popular tourist destinations that cost more. You can save hundreds of dollars on everything from flights to rental cars.
