ASPIRING travelers should pack their bags, because flight prices are dipping.

The season for cheaper flights is here as the late summer months bring better pricing.

But experts are saying that this year is offering even lower prices than usual.

Nerdwallet , a finance company that tracks pricing in certain sectors, said that not only are flights down in costs, but so are hotels.

The company said in July that hotel rooms were down 3.7% over the past year.

In that same time period, airfares are down 3.5%.

An expert who works at Going, a members-only cheap airfare company, told the New York Times that "now is the time for the reluctant traveler."

"Especially those who weren’t sure if they could afford an international trip this summer," Katy Nastro said.
