Why? August is sandwiched between two incredibly busy months. Both July and September start out with holiday weekends and July has long been known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/michelinemaynard\/2015\/07\/06\/how-to-survive-the-busiest-air-travel-month-of-the-year\/#7f909a5d3506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">busiest air travel month of the year<\/a> so it makes sense it slide out of the top 3.&nbsp; August may be the month where some families go back to school, but many school districts around the&nbsp;country actually wait until after Labor Day to start the school year.
