“Nearly half of 2025 holiday travelers (48%) say they will maintain their usual holiday travel plans this year, regardless of cost. But everyone could benefit from saving money on their travel costs.

According to the survey, by 2025, nearly all leisure travelers (91%) will take action to save money on their upcoming leisure travel-related expenses. Three in ten (30%) say they fly on a non-peak day and more than a quarter (26%) are staying with loved ones rather than getting a hotel room/vacation rental.”
