The Best Time To Book Holiday Travel

It’s still hot and humid outside right now, but the holidays are a lot closer than you think. If you plan to travel for Thanksgiving or Christmas, global travel search site Skyscanner says the best time to book flights is next week (the week of August 10th.) Skyscanner reports, “During that time travelers can save nearly 5.5 percent on Thanksgiving travel, close to 19 percent for Christmas and almost 15 percent for New Year’s Eve.” If you can’t book just yet, here are other good times to book for each holiday:

  • Thanksgiving: Booking the week of September 14th could save you an average of 4 percent, and booked two weeks prior to turkey day may save you an average of 3.8 percent.
  • Christmas: Booking the weeks of August 31st or September 28th may save an average of 12.7 percent and 9 percent, respectively. If you book the week of November 2nd you still might save 4.8 percent.
  • New Year’s Eve: The weeks of September 14th and 28th could save travelers an average of 8.5 percent, and booking the week of December 14th can save an average of 6.3 percent. (Yahoo)
