Trendwatch Tip: Reductions in airline capacity will likely result in higher fares later this year, so travel- ers should make holiday reservations now since these prices are unlikely to decrease. © 2008 Expedia, Inc.  All rights reserved.  CST #2029030-40 1 Harris Interactive®  fielded the online survey on behalf of Expedia.com between July 23 and July 25, 2008 among 2,017 U.S. adults 18 years of age or older.  No estimates of theoretical sampling error can be calculated; a full methodology is available through Expedia.com HOLIDAY OUTLOOK TREND: Fare searches on several high- volume routes show that average roundtrip holiday (Thanksgiving/ Christmas) fares are still reason- able for peak season and even more reasonable for those able to travel on non-peak days. Peak day travel (such as the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the Sunday after) is more expensive as always.
