I’m planning an international trip and want to find the best deals on flights. When is the best time to book international flights to get the lowest fares? Are there specific months, days of the week, or time frames that tend to offer the best prices?
For international flights, it’s best to book early. Aim to book no more than four months before your departure date. The ideal time to book is around 60 days before your trip for the best prices and availability.
When I planned my international trips, I found that booking flights about 2 to 3 months in advance generally yielded the best fares. For international travel, mid-week days like Tuesdays and Wednesdays often offered cheaper prices compared to weekends. Additionally, flying during off-peak seasons, such as late winter or early fall, typically provided lower rates. I also set fare alerts and compared prices across different airlines and booking platforms to find the best deal. Flexibility with travel dates and times can make a significant difference in securing a good price.
