What are shoulder seasons?
Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most people aren't flying to certain locations. So when it is chilly, most people head to warmer places like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like our feathered friends. But in the summer, you'll find that Europe gets busy. You can usually save on your flight when you avoid flying during the peak seasons.
