NORFOLK -- Now might be a good time to book that holiday plane trip.

Experts say fares are about 15-percent lower than last year because of the economy and falling oil prices.

On Monday, as 11-year-old Nicholas Hough prepared to fly home to New York, he was already trying to convince his mom they need to come back and see grandfather soon.

Travel experts stress the key to getting the lowest price is to be flexible when choosing your travel days.? Booking the popular dates - the day before through the day after a holiday - will cost you more.

September 2009 was busier than September 2008 at Norfolk International Airport. Officials hope it's a sign that the economy's taking off.
