If you’re looking to get the best price on airfare, start shopping nearly
eight weeks before you plan to leave.
The best time to buy domestic airplane tickets in 2015 was 54 days in
advance, according to a report from CheapAir.com that analyzed almost
three million itineraries.
But be warned: it’s not an exact science.
Ticket prices fluctuate so often that it’s hard for fliers to snag the
lowest fares, but if you book during the prime booking window, which is
about 3.5 months to three weeks in advance, you’re likely to catch the
best price.
“This isn’t a magic number that you can send a calendar reminder to
yourself to book your flight,” said CEO Jeff Klee.
A traveler who scored airfare at the lowest price saved an average of
$345 compared to buying at the peak, according to Klee.
Early bookers don’t necessarily get the savings worm, but they
generally end up with the biggest selection of flights. Flights booked
6.5 to 11 months ahead of time cost an average of about $50 more than
prices found during the prime booking time frame.
