The holiday season is quickly approaching, and with it comes the challenge of navigating through busy airports and securing affordable flights. However, with some planning and strategic booking, it’s possible to have a smooth, stress-free travel experience.
According to a study by Hopper, booking your flights two months in advance can help you snag some of the best deals.
This year, domestic flight prices are expected to be lower than previous years, with Thanksgiving airfare averaging 14% less than last year (Figure 1) and Christmas airfare down by 12% (Figure 2).
For those who have flexible travel dates, consider traveling on November 20th for Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve or Day for Christmas. These days tend to offer more affordable rates, with potential savings of up to 13%.
Avoid traveling on peak days like November 26th for Thanksgiving and December 22nd for Christmas to dodge higher prices and crowded airports.
Flight prices can fluctuate greatly, especially during the holiday season. Research suggests that monitoring flight prices and setting up price alerts can help you secure the best deals.
Despite lower airfare prices, USA Today notes that travel demand is expected to increase this year as more people plan to spend money on flights and hotel stays.
To avoid potential issues, book your accommodations early and anticipate larger crowds at airports.
With these tips in mind, you’re now ready to navigate the 2023 holiday travel season. Safe travels!
