Provided by Sherra Jones

If you are a bargain hunter like me, then there are last minutes deals to score.? Why?? Airlines have been raising there fares to offset a surge in jet fuel costs.? But the increase has caused a drop in leisure travel passengers leaving airlines with more empty seats before scheduled flights?that?s when you will find the deals.

This year, about 20% of Hotwire.com, a discount ?travel site, ticket searches turn up noticeable discounted prices as airlines struggle to fill the empty seats compared to last year?s 5% increase in discounted tickets.?

Secondly, MarketWatch, reports that travelers for Memorial Day will jump roughly 12% from a year ago.? Why? Despite the airlines? struggle to keep their seats filled, the recovering economy has created a determined resolve by travelers to take that well -deserved vacation.? So travelers should still expect shoulder-to-shoulder seating, long security lines and little room in overhead bins for luggage.
