Is now the best time to book that Holiday flight? Fall and the holidays are right around the corner, and flights have already started to increase. Are you waiting for prices to drop? Hmm, they likely won’t.

The best time to book a flight for Thanksgiving is 36-74 days in advance, right after Labor Day has passed. According to Google data given to travel site, Travel and Leisure, the average price of flights during Christmas decreases 22 days before departure; however, this cuts it too close for comfort.

Consider Traveling International

Another alternative to saving money on a holiday abroad is to go during the week of Thanksgiving, when international airfare rates usually drop, according to Keyes. For example, a flight from New York to Lisbon cost less than a flight from New York to Minneapolis during that period.

Booking Tip For a Smooth Flight

  • Choosing early morning flights and direct flights will also help you save time and money. It’s recommended that you book your flight within North America at least two weeks in advance, while flights to South America and Europe should be booked four to six weeks in advance.
