I thought I'd save some money by traveling off season. It didn't make a difference in the airfare and car rental prices. The resort was much cheaper though. I researched and found the reason. The airlines are cutting flights and competition. The merging didn't help either. Fewer flights mean higher fares. The rental cars are getting more expensive than the airfare or hotels. The rental car companies have reduced their supply of cars and thus charge more. My rental car contract looks worse than my cell phone bill with all the added charges. I think it is time for a staycation next year.
