When you go often matters more than where you book. Moving a trip by a week or a day can change the price a lot.
Cheaper times, generally
- Shoulder seasons: just before or after the busiest months
- Midweek travel days rather than Fridays and Sundays
- Avoiding school holidays and big local events
- Early morning or late flights
Use flexible date tools
Most fare and hotel search sites can show a calendar of prices across a month. Look at the whole month before you settle on dates.
