Fly Here, Stay There: Best Places To Score Air & Hotel Deals This Month
If the start of the holiday season has you itching to get out of town, you're in luck. Hotwire has tracked this month's best deals, based on month-over-month and year-over-year cost analysis and found that many warm weather destinations are offering better than average deals. So where should you go?Stay Here
Las Vegas tops the list for the fourth month in a row with a 10 percent drop and hotel prices for four-star accommodations from $85 and up. Convention business continues to be slow, but that's good news for leisure travelers looking to hit the pools, shows and casinos at a fraction of what it typically costs. You're in luck weather-wise too, with temperatures hovering in the upper 60s and low 70s in early December.
Knoxville and Milwaukee join the list as newcomers with eight and seven percent drops, respectively. In Milwaukee, hoteliers are concerned that this winter's weather won't be as mild as it was last year and are lowering rates to adjust. Hotels are reasonable too, at $82 and $86, respectively.
Palm Springs and Charleston – named the top destination in the world in the 2012 Condé Nast Traveler Readers Choice Awards – round out the list with six percent drops. Convention business is down in this Southern California resort town, leaving Palm Springs with rooms to spare, while hoteliers in Charleston are discounting to keep the momentum going from a busy October and early November.

Colorado Springs is a best bet for cheap airfare this month with an 18 percent drop and average fare of $258. Hawaii, however, continues to be a booming spot for great deals, where you'll find great deal to a number of cities and islands, including Honolulu (16 percent drop), Lihue, (12 percent drop) and Kahului (11 percent drop) for an average fare of $452.
If you want to leave the country, you'll also find great deals to Toronto, with an average fare of $358.

Driving is particularly cheap in Cincinnati, Jersey City, Seattle, Detroit, and Miami Beach, where average per-day car rental prices all hover below $40, with many prices in under $30.
So we'd suggest booking a trip today. After all, you don't want to be one of those travelers who leaves vacation days on the table ... the average traveler leaves nine unused days each year, the site found.
