Plus, the traps you may be falling into when you book airfare
As we approach summer, airfares tend to rise, and this year is likely to be no exception. Travel research app Hopper predicts that domestic flight prices will rise to about $229 round trip in April, from $218 in February — and up to $251 by June.
Of course, that’s simply an average and plenty of deals will be had before and after 76 days. Instead, CheapAir.com finds that it’s more helpful to think of booking within windows of time. Book too early and you pay more: 203 to 315 days in advance and you’ll pay an average of $50 more ; 116 to 202 days in advance and you’ll pay $20 extra.
When booking, don’t just default to getting a round trip fare with the same airline. “Switch it up,” says Gabe Saglie, an anchor and producer at travel site Travelzoo. “The airline that gives you the rock bottom fare to get there may not be the one offering the best flight bargain back, so compare round-trip flights with one-way flights on different carriers.”You’ve probably heard this “rule” before, but it’s one of the most pervasive flight myths out there.
But that doesn’t mean timing doesn’t matter. Instead of focusing on which day to book, you may want to put more weight into the time of year and day of the week you depart. Tuesday and Wednesday tend to be the cheapest days to fly, the CheapAir analysis found, and January tends to have the best flight deals, followed by February; by summer, flight prices creep up significantly. Even better: Track prices for desired flights through a site like Google Flights GOOGL, -2.
