Looking for the Cheapest Holiday Flights? Here's when to Book, According to Google Flights Data
Google Flights says holiday fares typically bottom out 56 days before departure, and AAA says travelers paid nearly $900 for round-trip domestic flights last season.
- A new Google Flights report based on five years of data indicates the historical low-fare window for Holiday travel has already passed for this season.
- Historically, the lowest prices hit about 34 days before departure, with lower prices typically appearing three to eight weeks before, while average fares hit their lowest point around 56 days out.
- For domestic trips, the best time to book is 39 days ahead, while international flights to Europe are lowest about 90 days out.
- Departing Monday and returning Tuesday or Wednesday saves about 14 percent compared to weekend itineraries, offering travelers flexibility despite the closed booking window.
- Connecting flights can further reduce expenses, as nonstop tickets average 20 percent more, helping offset the nearly $900 average domestic round-trip cost AAA reported last Holiday season.
