Travel Deals Leisure time is a precious element in our lives today, and people are getting creative in maximizing their time off, said Cheryl Law, Hotwire senior director of consumer research. With little time for planning a vacation, and fewer opportunities to get away for a large chunk of time, people are taking more frequent, shorter trips. To take full advantage of limited vacation days and avoid being out of the office for too long, the weekend trip is a smart and affordable way to get away.
