Best time to book your summer flights for 2024 according to Expedia

Counterintuitively, it probably won’t pay to be early this time, the US travel technology company said Expedia.com.

Historical data revealed by the Expedia® Summer Travel Outlook shows If you book your flights between 21 and 60 days before departure, you can save up to 15% on both domestic and international trips.

On the other hand, those who buy their tickets more than 90 days in advance will have to pay up to 15% more for international travel.

Also, If you travel during the last two weeks of August, you can save up to $265 in travel expenses. Another pro tip is that flights departing after 3pm are 50% more likely to be canceled.

Finally, fly internationally on Mondays and domestically on Tuesdays to save even more money.
