Whether you’re a business traveler or planning your next meeting and incentive travel programs, there is ALWAYS a best time to buy your airline tickets. Last minute web fares offer incredible savings IF you can pick up and go within a few days. For the rest of the world, a little more planning is required. Here are a few tips to help you find the lowest fares:
- Early Bird Gets the Good Seat – make sure to book in advance! 45 days in advance for domestic travel and 60 days in advance for international travel should allow enough time to reap the savings.
- Late Night Surfing – booking your fares late at night can pay off. Airlines have been known to offer reduced fares when traffic to their website is slow. Check midweek or after 10pm to find some amazing short-term fare sales.
- Technology is your friend - sign up for fare sale alerts, use a fare aggregator such as Kayak or Sidestep to search multiple websites at once or use a website like Farecast to try predicting if the fare will go up or down.
And one last word of advice for our travelers, EVERYONE wants to travel during the holidays. The only “best” time to book a holiday flight is before everyone else does!
Happy Travels!
