Fall in the Northern Hemisphere officially starts today at 4:18 central standard time. You might feel blindsided, but there’s no one to blame, really — it’s an arbitrary date, and the definition of “fall” climate-wise varies by region anyway.
For many destinations this side of the equator, though, “fall” is synonymous with “low season,” which is music to the ears of the cheapskate jetsetter.
The leaves may change colors, the wind gets a bit more brisk and the town square may get a bit lonely, but the dedicated miser does not let such trifles get in the way of their saving cash. Low season travel is a consistent talking point from travel gurus, but which areas should you set your sights on and what should you expect when you’re there?

As the temperatures start to drop on the East Coast, travelers often look to the West to escape to warmer climes for a few days. Who can blame them, really?
You can stay warm (and classy) in San Diego for less on select travel dates in October and November with several carriers. Delta Air Lines, US Airways, and Northwest Airlines are all offering cheap flights from Buffalo to San Diego for right around $210 R/T (taxes and fees included).
When airlines start to match low airfares, it’s good for the traveler. However, these deals, as always, are based on availability, so they could be gone soon.
