Domestic & International flights – This may be your answer to getting cheaper flights!

When should I book my flight to get the best deal?


It’s a question that so many people want to know but there is no clear cut answer to… Or is there? 

Last week news channels near and far were reporting on the recent findings from Cheapair. The post called “When to ignore our advice and book your flight as early as possible” gathered information from many flights booked through their website in 2013 and reported their findings on their blog this past January. 

Cheapair found that when booking domestic flights “Prime booking” is between 29-104 days, with the best day to book flights being 54 days before the day that you want to travel (The difference in savings was as high as $312)

For destinations that are popular year round Cheapair suggested booking 3-5 weeks earlier then the 54 day suggestion. 

Cheapair also identified that there are different time frames to consider for international flights. It is suggested that booking at least 100 days in advance is desirable. They also listed some specifics when going to certain continents. 

  • South Pacific -70 days in advance
  • Africa 166 days in advance
  • Mexico – 89 days in advance 
  • Europe – 151 days in advance
  • Asia – 129 days in advance
  • Caribbean – 101 days in advance
Travel during major holidays 
(US Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break etc.) 
According to the numbers in 2013 June 2nd was pegged as the day to book flights for these major holidays. To learn more in-depth information check out their blog post “What we learned about holiday airfares” 
Something else that was identified was the worst times to book your flights. Cheapair suggested that based on gathered data the worst days to book are:
1. The day before
2. The second day before 
3. Continuing up to 13 days before your desired day to fly

Bottom line– With all of this being said it is important to know the market. So start your research as early as you can and check back often. And good luck! 🙂 

Do you have other tips for booking flights? A great travel agent? Share, share, share away.. 

**There is a lot of information and it is important to consider that this information is based on a US company findings, however when this story aired on one of the newscast channels here in Edmonton it was still suggested that these tips could also help Canadian travellers get the best prices possible*

Have you ever heard of a Lollipop moment? It’s the realization that we ALL have the opportunity to change the world and be leaders every single day. This is something that is hard for most of us to even consider because when most people think of change or leaders, you think it has to come from somewhere grandiose. I’m guilty of thinking this too, and it’s something that I actively work towards changing every single day. Here’s to celebrating more of the Lollipop moments.
