Thousands of Americans getting ready to celebrate this Labor Day weekend, but in today’s economy traveling has become a luxury for many families. To assist struggling taxpayers, CNN Money has put together the following list of travel tips.
Lodging deals
There are still plenty of great deals to be found if you book a room now for this weekend. "But don't delay," advises Bob Deiner, president ofGetaRoom.com. "We expect hotels to raise rates right before the weekend."
Deiner's low price pick for Labor Day: Orlando. The Disney Regal Sun is offering deals as low as $55 a night.
To get the best deal on a room, check rates online first. Then, call and ask for the unpublished rate. Deiner claims, "Typical savings by phone is 10 to 25% lower than the lowest online rate."
