Financial problems for many airlines are leading to fewer seats and higher airfare rates.
Denise Petricka, from Carlson Wagonlit Travel, also says that most people book their holiday travel plans 9-10 months in advance, so a lot of flights are already booked.

Petricka also says sometimes airlines offer Thanksgiving deals, which could save you a little extra money if you haven't made plans yet.
