Travel planning tips

In November and December:

  • Take advantage of free admission to all national parks on Veteran's Day (Nov. 11).


  • Interested in attending the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. (March 29–April 13) or the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (April 25–27 and May 1–4)? It's time to book now.


  • Don't forget to make airport parking reservations three to four weeks prior to any holiday travel.


  • The first two weeks of December are a good time to look for special cruise and tour package deals.
