Cheapest places to travel, month by month

Every month is peak season somewhere and dead season somewhere else — and the dead seasons are where fares fall and crowds don’t follow. Each guide explains the month’s mechanism, states the catch, and lists the live below-usual fares our scans are observing for that month’s departures.
