It's not quite Christmas in July, but we at Out Travel the System definitely want to make sure you're as prepared as possible for your holiday travel plans this year.

Between anecdotal evidence at airports across the country and what we're seeing in  Expedia's booking data, the holiday travel period this year is shaping up to be one of the busiest in quite some time.

Where can you still book, how can you skip some lines, and are there any ways to save some money while still getting the experience you want - we tackle all of these questions and more.

Join host  Nisreene Atassi  and Out Travel the System favorites  Christie Hudson , Sr. PR Manager for  Expedia , and  Katherine Fan , Sr. Writer at  NerdWallet  for a wonderful conversation about holiday travel, and traditions new and old.

In addition to reminding you how to pack your patience - something you may have gotten out of the habit of doing in this extended period of limited travel - they'll dig into all of the reasons why holiday travel is absolutely worth exploring now.
