The Best Times to Book Flights in 2020

If you’re on the lookout for a good deal on a flight, it’s a hell of a guessing game as to when to pull the trigger, given the daily and even hourly changes in price on booking sites. Fortunately, data analysts at Hopper, a travel app, recently reviewed a few billion flight prices in 2019 to help you find some of the best times to book flights ahead of major holidays this year.

If you’re planning ahead for Memorial Day, for instance, Hopper recommends you book four weeks ahead (or the week of April 27) to find some of the lowest fares. If you’re wondering when to book a trip home for Thanksgiving, the best time to find flights is right around the last week in October.

Booking any future trip during the month of January isn’t such a bad idea, either. According to the report, Hopper estimates that airfare prices will remain relatively low this month—and increase starting in February and through June to meet spring and summer demand. In other words, if you’re not willing to risk waiting around and have finalized your plans, booking a trip probably isn’t such a bad idea.
