The school year's now over for most kids and that means the summer travel season will soon be in full swing.
And if your family is like many others this year, you're looking to make your trip as cheap as possible.
You're in luck, because your trip does not have to leave you broke.
One way to save, be flexible with your travel plans. For instance flying on a non-holiday weekend or taking trips during the week. When you're booking your flights, that can save you a lot of money.
And if you don't need to stay in a four-star hotel other accommodations would be cheaper -- like renting a house, staying in a mom-and-pop hotel, or even staying in a hostel.
Consider joining frequent traveler programs. Signing up for those programs with airlines or hotels can make you eligible for all sorts of discounts.
AAA tells us they also help customers find last-minute deals. You can learn about those at
