Some travel experts believe travel will be down this Labor Day, due to it falling later than usual (Sept. 7 this year). With kids in school and families back into a scheduled routine, it’s less likely a last summer hurrah is in the plans. But if travel is on your mind and in your budget, here are some things to consider.
1. BudgetTravel.com has the scoop on what airlines have the best travel deals for the upcoming holiday weekend.
2. Check local event calendars for free Labor Day events in your city, or see what other cities are doing in this online listing.
3. If you’re planning a road trip, gas will be cheaper than last year’s Labor Day.
4. Labor Day weekend is always a great time to snag some great deals in retail store. Find Labor Day coupons on FreeShipping.org, read the newspaper’s ads or visit your favorite retailers online a couple of days before for details.
5. Grilling out is still the most popular activity on Labor Day. Stock up on sale items at the grocery store and use these recipes for a delicious take on the last holiday of summer.
6. Print off some fun Labor Day Trivia to keep your cookout guests entertained. Create a playlist of “working”-related songs as background music. Suggestions: “9-5,” “Workingman’s Blues #2,” “Sixteen Tons” and “Luxury.” For more, see Rolling Stone’s the top 25 work-related songs.
