When to travel: The priciest week will be June 27 to July 3, when airfares will average about $595. The cheapest week to travel is usually May 30 to June 5, when airfares will average $518 for a round trip, according to the Bing forecast.

Where to travel: Orlando, Fla., will be among the cheapest destinations, with round-trip airfare averaging $300 and hotel prices averaging $107 per night. You'll also find deals on flights to Boston and Denver. Las Vegas has some of the lowest rates on three-star accommodations, and you also can find deals in Miami and San Diego. Traveling overseas this summer will be more expensive.

When to book: Book flights as soon as possible. "Travelers who are planning to wait out the rising fares in hopes of finding a deal will likely be disappointed," said Krista Pappas, global travel industry director at Bing.

As for accommodations, consider a vacation rental home. Renting can be cheaper than a hotel room. Check HomeAway.com or VRBO.com.
