This goes for airfare and hotels advance tickets. Alot of airlines and hotels give you a bigger discount the further out you book your trip.

4. Keep the kids busy

I personally have done this the entire time for my daughter. Before the trip especially road trips I would make goodie bags, filled with snacks, drink, magazines ( if they are old enough), coloring book, activity books and a book to read. . So they can do something besides tablets and video games.
