Travel experts say the best deals for airfares and hotels are already gone.
People still looking to book trips home to visit family or take a vacation during the holidays need to act fast — and prepare for sticker shock.

"Hotel prices are up absolutely everywhere," he said."If you have the same budget or even a lower budget through inflation, and you still want to travel, you just cut out a day."Hotels are struggling with labor shortages, another cause of higher prices.
