General Information FAQ

When should I book Spring Break, Thanksgiving, Christmas Travel?

While there is no exact date to book, we can tell you when most people book and get good fares, and when people book and get high fares:

September is when many people book Spring Break, Thanksgiving, and Christmas travel. Generally, if you book these dates in July, you are certainly assured that you will get the flights that you want, but the airlines generally don't have their flights attractively priced. The longer you wait after September, the more attractive flights are sold out, or are higher priced, so you have to take less attractive flights, or pay more. Remember, the airlines have a limited inventory. They will only sell a certain percentage of their flights at really great prices.
