The Best Time to Book Flights on Vacation Is Six Weeks Before the Trip
It’s never too early to start making your vacation travel plans. If you’re flying this Thanksgiving and Christmas, you’ll get the best rates when you book six weeks in advance.
It’s usually best to buy your flights at least eight weeks in advance to maximize your savings. But according to people at Hipmunk , the flight search engine, the best options for buying flights this year are October 3 for Thanksgiving and November 7 for Christmas. Booking during this time will save you an average of 14% of your trip, but you can save even more depending on where you are in the country. In some markets like Orlando, Phoenix, Atlanta and San Francisco, you can save up to 50%.
