People often ask when the best time is to buy tickets for air travel because everyone likes to save money when they can.
CheapAir is one of the most reliable sources when looking for the best times to book a flight. The site conducted airfare studies for the past five years and the most recent study shows:
- The prime time to get tickets for travel is 115–21 days before travel, as prices usually go up 20 days out.
- Tuesday is the cheapest day of the week to fly; Sunday is the most expensive.
- Friday is the second-most expensive day of the week to fly.
- It doesn’t matter if a flight is booked on a Sunday or a Tuesday, the price difference is negligible.
The company even breaks down ticket purchasing times by season. The best time to purchase tickets for the following season are:
- Winter: 94 days in advance
- Spring: 84 days in advance
- Summer: 99 days in advance
- Fall: 69 days in advance
