Annual airfare report

According to annual airfare studies, analysing nearly 917 million fares out of 3 million trips to determine when the best deals are typically available for domestic flights.

When to Book Seasonal Trips?

With 2020 rapidly closer, everyone with a thirst for travel miles away from their homes are wondering where to go next. Whether you are planning a trip for your summer holidays, spring getaways or winter escape seasons are the best time of the year to expect slashed prices on airfares. If it’s a summer trip? You will find the best fare by booking 47 days in advance, for winter trips you should book at least 69 to 62 days in advance. For spring getaways, deals were typically scored 90 days ahead of departure.

Booking a domestic flight?

Planning to fly within the country? Make sure to book your domestic flight to get the cheapest airline tickets between one and three months or four weeks before your trip. It’s very important to keep a note on days as a guideline on what to consider when searching for the most affordable airfares for domestic flights. According to a recent survey on flight data, it says, “Six months before departure, domestic ticket prices were about 20% higher than the lowest fares. They started dropping three months out and hit a low to seven weeks before departure.” From their findings, they have concluded that on average, 47 days was the best time to get the lowest fare for a domestic flight.

Booking an international flight?

When it comes to foreign trips it’s a bit more tiring than flying within the country for a staycation. It will take more of your precious time to plan an international trip with fun activities, accommodation and itinerary of things to do which also includes booking your tickets further in advance. International flights don’t have the same kind of fluctuation as domestic flights do, it’s not what you see is what you’re going to get. According to a recent survey of airfares on international flights: “It stays fairly flat for a few months, then starts to creep up slowly, until about 90 days before departure when the place of increase starts to accelerate.” It shows us the best days to fly international are between five and a half months and one and a half months from departure.

When is the cheapest day to book a flight?

Google or Bing, will show you a plethora of online sources that will tell you when is the best day and time to book your dream trip. Though that’s not the case here, prices largely depend on airline routes and fluctuating prices make it difficult for you to research. Until this year, there is a commonly held myth that Tuesday around midnight is better for flight shopping. As travellers who purchased flights on this time and date have saved about 6% on their flights since more business travellers are booking their flights during the week.
