Obviously no one should be traveling right now for fun, though this fare is available through the end of the schedule (until next spring), so some may want to jump on this. I'll add the usual caution about us not knowing what the future will look like...…
As I’ve said before, in general I don’t think there’s anything wrong with planning travel way in advance, given the deals that are available. However, if you’re going to do so, go into it with the expectation that the trip may not materialize, as we…
