How to find airfare deals from Miami if you still need a summer getaway
The procrastination may even pay off.
Travel site Kayak has come up with the cheapest airfares from Miami International Airport in August. The company calls it a 'spontaneous getaway without the budget blowout.'
The list of cheapest travel doesn't guarantee you a ticket or include specific airline or flight, but is more of a guide so you can find the best travel deals for the price.
Here are the site's 'Best priced flight routes from your home airport in August.' They are ranked here in order of increasing price.
Baltimore $104Houston $104Atlanta $106Orlando $110Nashville $116Philadelphia $120Dallas $121Washington, D.C. $122Detroit $126Raleigh $127
These fares are round-trip and for economy class, Kayak said.
It crunches its proprietary numbers every month to determine the lowest fares to and from dozens of airports. It also shows how the prices will change over the next five months.
Kayak's cheapest routes are based on the averages of its cheapest round-trip flight prices for economy class and based on searches in the last 60 days.
Kayak research shows overall airfare within the U.S. is trending 7% cheaper this summer. That's even as 60% of Americans say travel prices have gone up.
The company's annual 'Travel-check-in-summer' report found more than 100 cities seeing price drops this summer with Sydney down 23% and Hong Kong 16%.
The report found Aug. 11-31 as another inexpensive time to travel and August overall had the lowest fare with an average of $376. International flights averaged $868 in August.
For those looking to travel Labor Day weekend, Kayak suggested flying out Saturday, Aug. 30, for the cheapest fares at $328 on average, or leaving a little earlier on Wednesday, Aug. 27, for an average of $357.
Flights out of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport weren't included in the current Kayak tool or report. But through company spokesperson Sarah Kennedy, the company provided data to the Miami Herald using the same methodology, and she said it could add them to their reports in the coming months. The best 10 deals from FLL in increasing order of price were:
Orlando $77Louisville $77Nashville $82Asheville $87Knoxville $92Tampa $96Raleigh $96Richmond, Virginia $98Columbus, Ohio $101Indianapolis $102
Go to Kayak's site for August.
It should say 'Best priced flight routes from your home airport in August.' Then:
Go to your region's section (for Miami-based travelers, select South)
In the dropdown menu for Southern origin cities, pick your closest airport (for most of you, should be Miami)
Explore this month's deals. You should see a list similar to the one created above.

A 1960s-Era Pan Am Building in Miami Will Reopen as a Luxe Private Terminal
Travelers passing through one of the largest airports in the US will soon have access to a plush new private terminal housed inside a historic Jet Age building. PS, the company formerly known as Private Suite, is restoring the historic Pan Am building at Miami International Airport, transforming it into an ultra-exclusive lounge space for paying commercial airline passengers. PS currently operates out of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), with plans to expand to Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) in 2026. The luxe spaces, popular among high net-worth and celebrity travelers, are separate from the main airport terminals and offer bespoke services as well as private security checkpoints. When the project at MIA is complete, travelers will feel as if they're stepping back into the glamour of the 'Golden Age' of air travel in the 1960s—but with upgraded, modern amenities. The terminal will feature private TSA and customs clearance, private suites, a bar, an outdoor courtyard, decorative pools, work spaces, and more. Originally constructed in 1963 to serve as Pan Am's regional headquarters, the building is a shining example of midcentury modern Miami architecture. It was nicknamed the 'Taj Mahal of Miami' for its similar layout to the real Taj Mahal and design that "resembles that of the US Embassy in New Delhi from 1959,' according to RJ Heisenbottle Architects, the firm overseeing the restoration project.

Largest RV dealer reports strong profit despite closing 16 stores
Owning a recreational vehicle (RV) and spending a year, or a few years, traveling around the world is still a dream for me and my husband. When we were younger, we often wondered why people whom we usually saw driving RVs were always older than us (we were in our early 20s then). It didn't take long to figure it out - the expense. RVs are quite pricey, but the cost matches the offering - adventurous, unrestrained, and liberating traveling. The best kind! Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter How much does an RV cost? According to HomeGuide, it's between $20,000 and $600,000 on average. Or more precisely: $20,000 – $100,000 average towable RV price;$50,000 – $600,000 average RV motorhome price;Up to $5,000,000 for a luxury RV. Thankfully, for those who are still not able to own one, there are options of renting or buying a used one. Over the last couple of years, RVs have become more popular. It started with the Covid pandemic when travel trailer sales experienced a notable boost, earning them the nickname "Covid campers." Many Americans were desperate to travel during the crisis but feared being infected. The safest option turned out to be a camper. And the popularity of RVs seems to have continued in the post-pandemic environment. Camping World (CWH) is one of the biggest retailers of RVs, RV accessories, and RV-related services in the United States. It has operated for 59 years and went public nine years ago, raising $251 million. Related: Delta Air Lines faces pushback over new pricing policies On July 29, the retailer posted impressive second-quarter results with $2 billion in revenue, up 9.4% from the same period last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share missed analysts' estimates, delivering $0.57 instead of the projected $0.6. However, earnings per share improved 50% from the previous quarter. More importantly, Camping World set a record in quarterly RV sales, selling 45,602 units - including 26,696 new and 18,906 used units - in the three months ended June 30. Both new and used RV sales improved over 20%, indicating the popularity of RVs, writes RVtravel. The largest RV dealer has also faced challenges in the last few months. Since January, the company has had to lay off 1,000 employees. "That's an unfortunate circumstance, but we have made the hard cuts," explained Camping World CEO Marcus A. Lemonis during an earnings conference.

One of the store closures was particularly unusual. It all started in October 2024, when Camping World hung a gigantic American flag at the company's location on the corner of Evans Street and Red Banks Road in Greenville, North Carolina. Related: Popular energy drink pulled from shelves for containing vodka According to council members, the flag is close to the size of a basketball court and flies on a 130-foot-tall pole, almost double the size of the current regulations. City lawmakers voted to take legal action against the flag because it violates city ordinance, and they fined Lemonis $15,000. The dispute impacted the company's business in Greenville, as the company had to close one of its two stores there. The lawsuit was officially filed in June and is costing the city a whole lot of money - thousands in taxpayer dollars. In early July, Camping World was said to be facing $27,500 in fines, while the city is fining it $250 per day until the flag is removed or complies with the rules, reports News ABC 12. Camping World Representatives requested 30 more days to respond to the suit, taking matters into August. So far, Lemonis reiterated several times he has no plans to take the flag down, as it represents something very personal for him - a symbol of his childhood dream. Looking forward, business-wise, Lemonis says the company is confident in its "mid-cycle earnings power." It projects to generate well over $500 million of adjusted EBITDA and aims to expand gross margins by 100 basis points over the next 18 months. Earlier in June, Camping World expressed support for the One Big Beautiful Bill, especially praising the RV loan interest deduction provision, which would "provide RV families with long overdue affordability relief after years of rising inflation, and stubbornly high interest rates." Year-to-date, Camping World's shares have dropped 34.35%, trading at $13.84 per share.
