Here’s when you should book a flight for the best deal: study

With summer travel nearly upon us, savvy holidaymakers are looking to get a deal — but when is it best to book that flight?

The “best” day to buy domestic flights is 70 days before departure, according to a study from CheapAir.com.

The survey found the price of a flight fluctuates on average 49 times at around $43 a pop.

“Spring is one of the cheapest seasons to buy a flight during the year, and I recommend that people shop about three months out for the best fares,” Jeff Klee, founder and CEO of CheapAir.com, said in a press release earlier in the year

“However, Memorial Day is more of the ‘spiritual’ start of the summer season, even if the actual start is a few weeks away,” he continued. “Because of US travelers’ propensity to travel this weekend, we recommend shopping like it is summer, and purchasing airline tickets even earlier.”

They survey also noted the cheapest day to hop on a flight, finding that jetting off on a Wednesday can save around $100 on average in comparison to Sundays.

If you want to save a few dollars, February is the cheapest month to fly, saving an average of $114, followed by January.

December is the most expensive month to travel, followed by July.

However, if you’re hoping to snap a summer deal, Klee recommends purchasing as soon as possible and checking out the airlines releases seats.
