Labor Day 2015 Travel Deals: Cheap Flights, Car Rentals, Amtrak Trips For Discounted Prices

Looking to travel during the Labor Day weekend but think you may be too late? Disregard that voice inside your head that says you’ve messed it all up. There are in fact hundreds of offers that can get you on the road or in the air at the last minute, and well on your way to visiting those relatives that you may have been actively trying to avoid for the last 10 years.

Incredibly, during this Labor Day weekend, around 35.5 million people are expected to travel 50 miles or more, according to statistics from the American Automobile Association. Of those making a trip, 30.4 million will go by car and 2.6 million will take a plane. That leaves 2.5 million traveling by train, bus and boat.

The American Cycling Association did not have any statistics on how many cyclists would be causing the nation’s drivers to suffer high blood pressure during this weekend. But they did advise that anyone getting on a bicycle during this busy Labor Day period should wear a helmet.

There is no need to tire yourself out while trying to get a great deal on a rental car or get in a tizzy looking for cheap plane tickets, as there are plenty deals to go around.
