From USA Today, here are seven tips for saving on holiday airfare. We like:

• Fly on the Holiday. Less people do it, because they’re afraid of missing dinner. Live dangerously, save money.

• Fly out of an alternate airport. Maybe no one has family in Reno.

And

• Book a vacation package. Cheaper! Discounted!

Just don’t do all three. “We miss you Mom, we’re at the Holiday Inn in Milwaukee!”
