International average ticket prices are nearly $260 lower the week of Oct. 20 in comparison to summer. Honolulu, Seattle, London and Dublin are some of the destinations seeing a 15% or more drop in ticket prices for fall compared to summer. You can save up to 15% on airfare by departing on a Monday for domestic flights and Saturdays for international flights.

The most expensive flights of the season, on the other hand, are likely to be the week of Oct. internationally or the week of Oct. 13 domestically, per Expedia.

”Regardless of the destination, fall is a fantastic time to travel and there’s still time to plan a getaway. (The week of) Oct. 20 is the best for international trips,” Melanie Fish, head of Expedia Group Brands public relations, said in a statement.

‘Ghostbusters’ house

The witching hour has arrived in Florida as Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort recently kicked off its 33rd season, running through Nov. 3. Guests can visit 10 new haunted houses, some based on franchises like “A Quiet Place” plus new and nostalgic originals.

But nothing absorbs fans into the world of the movie more than the beautifully rendered sets of “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.” Enter past the neon sign for Ray’s Occult Books, stroll through the frost-covered dining room where an ancient artifact has released an evil entity and see a real-life Ecto-1 vehicle. The house captures the newest movie while throwing in a few elements from the original 1984 film and its 1989 sequel.
