When and Where to Find Labor Day Weekend Deals

The dog days of summer are upon us. Holiday weekends are often more expensive to travel, but if you’re itching to close out the season with a great three- or four-day vacation, here’s when to buy and where to go so you don’t break the bank for Labor Day weekend.

WHEN TO BUY

To get the best deal, the time to buy for Labor Day Weekend is coming up fast. Hipmunk analyzed historical data and found that travelers who have not yet booked their Labor Day plans, should book the week of August 6 (that’s next week, friends) to save 11 percent on flights.

WHERE TO GO

Okay, so now you’re ready to make the most of the end of summer, but where should you go? Hipmunk has your back, with data on the 50 hottest Labor Day destinations this year.

TOP FIVE HOT SPOTS

The top five destinations are spread across the country, and represent five wildly different ways to close out your summer. Take your pick from the casinos and shows in Vegas, the culture and cuisine of New York City, the beaches and nightlife of Miami, the music and history of New Orleans, or the boardwalks and golf courses of Myrtle Beach.

HOTTEST STATE

If you’re thinking of heading to the West Coast, you’re in good company. The top 50 list also includes ten destinations in California—from San Francisco, to Napa, to Palm Springs, to Anaheim, to the tiny beach town of San Simeon where you can see some impressive elephant seals, or visit Hearst Castle.

LOWEST HOTEL DEALS

If you’re looking for a deal in the Midwest, Minneapolis tops the list with the lowest average price per night for a hotel on Labor Day weekend at $98/night. If you’d rather round out your vacation with a dose of history, Williamsburg, VA hotels will set you back just $102/night on average for the weekend.
