Book Thanksgiving travel NOW!

Want to bring the kids to meet their uncle Archie in New York this Thanksgiving? Then get online and start making your plans NOW!

Thanksgiving is the most popular time to travel and even in this sagging economy flights and rooms are going fast.

I know this because I'm in the midst of booking flights to Charelston, S.C., so our family can eat turkey with our cousins. Coming from the California Bay Area, our cheapest bet is to take Southwest Airlines to Jacksonville, Fl., and then drive four hours to Charleston, which I don't mind because we can spend a night in Savannah, Ga., a place I have always wanted to visit.

But the online-only cheap fares available through Southwest are going fast and already dates and times are limited. And if you want to use frequent-flier miles, your options are more limited due to black-out dates. We have a voucher for a free flight, so we have to fly out several days before the holiday and return a few days after in order to use it.

Thanksgiving is fine period to spend time in NYC with family. Last year I ordered a trip to NYC thorough last minute travel. We got a nice vacation together.
