(CNN) - As the holiday season wraps up, many are thinking about travel for 2013. USA Today is reporting the top five trends to look out for this year.

Number 1: Expect to pay more for your plane tickets. Or at the very best, don't plan on getting any great deals.

Number 2: You're going to pay more money in fees, including checked bags, hotel safes, and rental car extras.

Number 3: More airlines joining forces so there will be less competition. Analysts say to watch for US Airways and American merging.

Number 4: Look for gas prices to drop.

Number 5: You're going to see more protection from the Transportation Department, in terms of transparency in airline ticket pricing and contracts.
