What is the best time 📆 
to book flights?

We're all looking to find the best deals we can. This is why we created ATC — with the key goal to help you find the cheapest possible flights.

Amidst the plethora of rumors spread by ‘influencers’ (and supposed ‘studies’), here's what airfare experts have to say about the impact of timing on airfare prices.

Use this knowledge to your advantage.

Why do prices fluctuate?

Airfare prices fluctuate due to demand, seasonal trends, and competition, causing numerous price drops and increases as your departure date approaches.

Airlines use sophisticated revenue management systems to adjust pricing for optimal seat sales. Generally, as seats are sold, prices tend to become more expensive.

Don’t book too early

Most airlines start selling their flights 9–12 months in advance. However, booking a ticket too early in that window can be an expensive mistake – the airline typically starts by setting prices at a relatively high level to capture early demand from those willing to pay more to secure their seats.

Prime Booking Window

For long-haul flights, the best time to book your ticket is around 4–6 months before departure. It is the “Prime Booking Window” – after some seats have already been sold, the airline starts dropping prices to stimulate demand.

It may also offer promotions and sales (especially for flights departing from its main airport hub). This is the ideal time for bargain hunting.

Fly on weekdays

It makes a difference which day of the week you board the plane.

Midweek travel (especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays) is less busy and likely cheaper than flying on weekends. Airlines charge higher prices for weekend travel due to the high demand from people going on short getaways or visiting family and friends.

Opt for early morning flights

Select a late night or early morning (1–5 am) flight to save on airfare. Airlines often offer discounts on their first morning flight (up to 15-20%) simply because of lower demand – most people are not willing to go to the airport so early.

Moreover, morning flights have fewer delays, and airport queues are usually shorter.

Peak seasons are expensive

Peak travel seasons are always expensive – due to higher base prices set by the carrier for dates it expects to be popular.

Avoid the high season during summer and major holidays, including holidays in the country you’re flying to.

Wait for a sale or promotion

Once a flight departs, empty seats mean lost money for an airline. This is why carriers often offers sales and promotions that help to achieve higher seat occupancy.

Summary

The best time to book international flights is between 2 to 8 months before your travel date. The prime booking window is 4–6 months before takeoff. For domestic flights, making a reservation from 4 to 8 weeks in advance is recommended.
