Your guide to celebrating August 23
Skip to all 11 daysAugust 23 brings 11 national days, led by Cheap Flight Day, with Internaut Day and National Cuban Sandwich Day turning a future trip into a plan you can enjoy without waiting.
Set a destination before breakfast
Give yourself 20 minutes and choose one place you would genuinely like to visit in the next six to twelve months. Open a notes app, write down the airport you would leave from, and add two possible travel windows. For Internaut Day, use the web with a purpose: check an airline site, then one flight-comparison site, and record the lowest fare you see for each window. Skip the urge to search every destination on earth. A short list gives you something useful to compare later.

Compare fares without rushing to buy
Cheap Flight Day is a prompt to watch prices, not a promise that a single search produces a bargain. Search the same route across your two date windows, checking nearby departure dates if your schedule allows. Note the fare, baggage allowance, number of stops, and total travel time, because the cheapest headline price can become expensive after add-ons. Set a price alert for the route you actually want, then step away. Checking once a day for a week is more useful than refreshing a screen for an hour.
Make lunch part of the planning
Invite a friend who might travel with you, or simply give the plan a proper pause with a Cuban sandwich. Order one from a Cuban restaurant or deli, or make it at home in about 20 minutes with Cuban bread, roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. Press it in a sandwich maker or a heavy skillet until the bread is crisp and the cheese melts. While you eat, agree on a rough budget and one non-negotiable for the trip, such as a museum, beach day, or seeing family.
National Cuban Sandwich Day
Succulent pork, juicy pickles, tangy mustard, pressed to perfection, all nestled between crispy bread. A sandwich so delicious, it transports you to Havana.

Leave yourself a small decision
Before the day ends, put one reminder on your calendar: the date you will revisit the fares. Save the route, your best price so far, and the two travel windows in one note. That is enough progress for one day, and it keeps the next search tied to a real plan rather than a passing daydream.
