Travelocity released its annual Travel Booking Barometer for Memorial Day 2012 with the data showing that now through April 18 – approximately six weeks before the holiday weekend – is one of two sweet spots for travelers to get the best price on Memorial Day weekend airfare.

To help celebrate its Sweet 16, Travelocity experts are giving a gift to its customers offering 16 fabulous hotel deals from now until March 31.

Travelocity today announced its new Travelocity App for iPad is now available on the App Store, giving travelers the ability to book flights, hotels and car rentals all in one app. Travelocity for iPad joins the company's existing app for iPhone and iPod touch, as well as devices on Android and Windows Phone 7, giving users access to the best in travel from their favorite device.

Breathtaking sights, free champagne and suite upgrades may sound out of reach this Valentine’s Day, but it might not be when booking hotel deals with Travelocity.

The Travelocity Cruise Super Sale kicks off January 3, 2012 and ends January 31, 2012, offering travelers cruises to their favorite destinations from $189, and up to $600 in bonus savings when you use your American Express® Card.

When it comes to holiday travel, Travelocity says flexibility is always crucial – especially since average domestic airfare is up 5 percent and international airfare is up 6 percent from the 2010 holiday season.

Travel mistakes cost time and money: They start with shopping for a flight and continue right up to the day of departure. Travelocity’s Thanksgiving Task Force has monitored the nation’s busiest airports every Thanksgiving for more than a decade and found there are 10 travel mistakes that rear their ugly heads time and time again.

Travelocity culled through thousands of Las Vegas hotel reviews to find out which ones customers liked the best.

Average airfare over the Thanksgiving holiday is six percent higher than last year, but Travelocity travel experts found flight costs change dramatically based on travel days, meaning those travelers willing to be flexible are likely to save. Average domestic airfare is a whopping $213 cheaper on the least expensive travel days compared to the most expensive days.

Thanksgiving travel: While consumers will enjoy hotel deals over Thanksgiving weekend, cheap flights will be harder to find.
