Forget the binary low/high season for travel budgets; it's a fallacy that ignores a broader reality. The real question is more about how to maximize access to travel for everyone, especially when family constraints and school calendars dictate the period.
A more relevant third way would be to question the existence of support schemes like holiday vouchers or social programs for low-income families, to ease financial pressure.
In Spain, for example, aid to families for leisure or vacations allows avoiding placing the entire burden of budget optimization solely on the choice of season.
It is a more pragmatic approach that bypasses rigid calendar limits, offering true flexibility instead of the illusion of perfect control.
