Although airfares for the holiday weekend have held steady for most of June, they are expected to jump 10% by Thursday, based on Travelocity's historical airfare data.
That gives last-minute vacationers very little time left to book their trips before prices start climbing.
Thanks to rising fuel costs and consumer demand, airfares are already higher than they were last year. The average domestic round-trip airfare is $388, up 7% from 2010's Fourth of July holiday weekend, according to Travelocity.
But many Americans are determined to go on a vacation this summer, even though discretionary spending is tight.
On a budget? Take a road trip
Once travelers arrive at their destinations things should become a little more wallet-friendly.
"Though there's not much wiggle room in airfare pricing over a holiday weekend, there's a lot more opportunity to find hotel deals," said Genevieve Shaw Brown, editorial director at Travelocity.
Although the average daily rate, or ADR, at hotels is $144, up 9% from 2010, Brown said that many hotels are offering special deals and packages that will help cut costs significantly.
To boost value without compromising rates, hotels are increasing the number of promotional offerings available. This summer there are a slew of offers, such as free nights, room upgrades, resort credits, spa treatments, rounds of golf and complimentary breakfasts that travelers can take advantage of.
"That's a great way to save when you're not getting a big discount on the hotel rate," said Orbitz senior editor Jeanenne Tornatore. "You're saving money you would otherwise be spending."
The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, for example, is offering 20% off breakfast and complimentary line passes and admission to its LAVO Nightclub over the Fourth of July weekend. Vacationers at the Westin Resort & Spa in Cancun, Mexico can choose to stay a fourth night for free or opt for a $200 food and beverage credit and room upgrade (subject to availability).
"These deals are literally everywhere," Brown said.
Mary Song, founder of travel site Yuupon.com , advises travelers to look for specific pages on travel web sites dedicated to the Fourth of July or to even conduct a search on Google for "Fourth of July travel deals" to find the best offerings.
Many times, she said, there are specials that are not even listed on a hotel's own site.

Gas prices drop, just in time for summer road travel
Drivers are rejoicing as pump prices across California continue to drop. According to AAA, which tracks gas prices as a service to consumers, every Northern California metro area tracked by the organization saw a double digit decrease at the pump over the past month.
According to ModestoGasPrices.com, which tracks gasoline prices in the Turlock area, a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline could be found for $3.59 on Friday — a 57 cent difference from the averaged $4.16 per gallon available the first week in May.
The state’s average for a gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline is $3.94, down 32 cents since last month’s AAA report on May 10. For perspective, that’s 86 cents higher than California’s average price on this date last year. Among all 50 states, California now has the fourth highest state average price for regular, unleaded gasoline. Alaska is first and Hawaii, Connecticut, and Illinois are tied for the second highest average price, while New York is third.
Northern California gas prices are now averaging $3.92, down 33 cents from last month. In the San Francisco Bay Area, motorists can expect to pay an average price of $4.02, which is a 30-cent drop. The national average price of $3.70 is down by 25 cents, which is $1 more than the national price on this date last year, when it was $2.70.
“Consumers continue to experience welcome relief at the pump as gasoline markets in the U.S. are returning to relatively lower prices,” explained AAA Northern California spokesperson Matt Skryja. “Gasoline demand is down over the last week after it steadily rose for the four weeks prior. Speculation about where oil demand might go for the second half of 2011 continues to cause controversy worldwide.”
At its meeting last week in Vienna, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was unable to come to a consensus about whether its members should increase oil production to meet the rising global demand forecast for the remainder of 2011. The meeting ended in confusion and without consensus on production levels which is unusual for a group that relies on unification to influence the market. The Saudi Oil Minister has now said that his country will meet the needs of the market regardless of the disagreement. This action is expected to apply downward pressure on crude prices. OPEC member countries collectively hold 79 percent of global crude oil reserves and account for 44 percent of global production. The United States imports almost six million barrels per day of crude oil from OPEC countries, accounting for nearly a third of U.S. consumption.
While the drop in gasoline prices comes just in time for summer road trips, there are still ways to stretch every dollar spent at the pump. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends driving more efficiently. The department offers six tips for achieving this:
1.) Drive sensibly — Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.
2.) Observe the speed limit —While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. You can assume that each 5 mph driven over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.30 per gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer.
3.) Remove excess weight - Avoid keeping unnecessary items in the vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in a vehicle could reduce the MPG by up to 2 percent. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.
4.) Avoid excessive idling — Idling can use a quarter to a half gallon of fuel per hour, depending on engine size and air conditioner (AC) use. Turn off the engine when the vehicle is parked. It only takes a few seconds worth of fuel to restart a vehicle. Turning the engine on and off excessively, however, may increase starter wear.
5.) Use cruise control — Using cruise control on the highway helps maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.
6.) Use overdrive gears — When using overdrive gearing, a car's engine speed goes down. This saves gas and reduces engine wear.

Why you must allow your child to travel for summer vacation
Traveling abroad is a privilege which many professionals who work with and on children agree can expand kids' knowledge, awareness of and appreciation of the world; and give them broader perspectives on issues.
Several surveys and even the US Department of Education have concluded that children who travel over summer breakdo better in reading, math and their general knowledge than those who do not. Traveling enables kids to broaden their horizons and learn that the world is not made up of the limited confines of their neighborhoods.
Because not all can afford to travel overseas, parents can use summer vacation to take trips to museums, zoos, local beaches and historical monuments to help expand their children's broaden their experiences. Families should make an effort to make sure they get out and travel as much as possible with their children this summer.

Discount Airline to Offer More Travel Luxuries
By SUSAN CAREY
JetBlue Airways Corp., following the airline industry trend of offering travel upgrades for a fee, said Wednesday it will add early boarding and access to more overhead bin space to its roomier seat option. The Forest Hills, N.Y. discount airline said it is rebranding its three-year-old Even More Legroom product as Even More Space by adding the additional attributes for the same price.
The carrier also said it has begun to offer Even More Speed, which allows passengers to go through expedited security screening at 15 airports. Initially, purchases of Even More Space will include the speedier security. An airline spokesman said eventually they will be sold separately as upgrade options, but there is no timeline for that, nor is there information of how much the security-lane option will cost on its own.
The four to six inches of additional space on JetBlue's A320 and E190 jetliners costs $10 to $75 per one-way flight, depending on the distance. JetBlue said in January the extra legroom generated more than $85 million in revenue in 2010.
The expedited security lanes are in Austin, Texas; Baltimore; Buffalo, N.Y.; Charlotte, N.C.; Chicago; Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville, Fla.; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport; Newark, N.J.; San Francisco; Seattle and Washington's Dulles International Airport. JetBlue will add Boston to the list in mid-July, the carrier said, and other destinations will come later.
