It’s getting harder and harder to use airmiles these days, as the most popular routes and time periods for family travel seem to always be booked before we ever get a chance to even think about our next family vacation.

If you are hoping to use airmiles to travel next Christmas/New Years, now is the time to book your trip. You can book 11 months out for most trips, so get started! Places like Europe, Hawaii, and the Caribbean go first.

If you are lucky enough to be able to travel during off peak periods, you can often find flights much more last minute.
