In the USA, the President is the biggest job that you can hold in the government and politics, which comes with responsibilities of making important decisions about not just short-term goals but decisions that will impact the future of the country. The general public understands this, and to emphasize the importance of the highest office in the US, President’s Day is observed every third Monday in February. This year, 2025, it is on the 17th of February, so you have a 3-day weekend to look forward to. Initially meant to honor the first president of the USA, George Washington’s birthday it was observed for almost a century on the 22nd of February, and the decision to move it to the current rotating date was implemented in 1970.
Fly
to celebrate the day
This day means different things to
different states; some celebrate the birthday of the Presidents who rose to
this office from their state, while others celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s birthday
on the day, the president famous for keeping the country united by winning the
Civil War. In general, it is meant to honor every president of the country,
past and present. So, you will get to see celebrations of different kinds in
different cities including parades in the hometowns of the presidents and there
are wreath-laying ceremonies in Washington. So you can catch flights to this
city to give your children an educational tour to learn about the past of the
country.
Fly
for comfort
Cherry pie is also associated with the day,
so you can either bake one, learn to bake it, or go to an eatery to enjoy it. There
will be some sales, too, including online ones, so you can make use of this to
get discounted stuff. You can also expect the various airlines to show how
patriotic they are by offering flights at bargain offers, so those of you
interested in traveling around this time of the year will have something to
look forward to. When traveling to a tourist resort far away, flights will be
the best way to reach there, unless you have more time to drive to them, if
that is what you prefer. And you should also make sure that there is
accommodation waiting for you, as you will not want to stay on the streets or
pay too much for these, just because you have no option.
Fly where
you want to
Now this day in mid-winter is meant to be a
break from everything, so you can rest when the temperatures are not enjoyable
for most. Those looking for holidays will be of 2 kinds, one group will want to
travel to snow-covered mountains for skiing or snowshoeing while the other
group will want to get some warmth, particularly with some fresh air at the
beaches. There will be those who would have planned these holidays early and
will have the air tickets ready. The advantage of booking everything early is that
there will be very low chances of these not being available and the other that
you won’t be paying as much as you will have to if you do this later. So, if
your plans to travel are confirmed, book your flight tickets now.
Fly because you want to
If you are not able to find the flights to
your chosen destination, you will have some other options. The easier choice
will be to select an alternative destination that is not so popular with
tourists but with everything that you need. The other option will be to seek
flights to the airports close to your first choice airport. This will mean some
time in the cab, which will add to your travel budget. Also, when going for
short breaks, it is best to book round-trip flights, as life can become very
difficult if you are stranded without any means to return, especially in terms
of the extra money you will have to spend and the explanations you will have to
give for not coming to work or studies on days you said you will be back by.
Conclusion
President’s Day is meant to show respect,
but it also comes with the much-needed holidays in the middle of winter, which
can be difficult for some. So, for those looking to travel, if they haven’t had
their winter break yet or if they travel when they get a chance, these will be
the ideal days for this. You will find more people at the airports than usual,
a clear indicator of the fact that a lot of people make good use of the extra
day they have got this weekend. And finding flights now will get you the best
deals.
