When should I order a cheap ticket? Travel websites suggest you to grasp this time period before departure

Tickets account for a large part of the travel budget, and travel and Leisure website reports, a new research solves the problem that concerns everyone: when is the most cost-effective to book a ticket.

Travel comparison website reveals cheaper flights

According to the annual report of travel comparison website CheapAir, tickets booked at least three weeks before departure and no more than two and a half months, is the best time to get cheaper this year.

This report analyzes the results of more than 917 million flights across the United States, and also reminds that if passengers wait less than a week before booking their tickets, the ticket price will be 59%.

In addition, passengers who book tickets too early, who book 280 days before the flight may also pay higher prices, almost as high as the last minute booking.

The report also overturned the statement that "the air tickets are cheaper on some days". The data shows that the average ticket price difference is less than 1 yuan, regardless of which day of the week.

The cheapest flights to travel on Wednesday

However, CheapAir found that choosing how many trips to travel on the week will actually affect prices, and pointed out that the cheapest travel day of the week is Wednesday. In addition, flight tickets are always cheaper, and passengers are more flexible in changing trips and canceling fees; once the ticket price drops, there is a chance to re-book and collect the difference. The report pointed out that the average annual ticket price changes by 49 times, with an increase of 100 yuan. Airlines also regularly use price cuts or member miles to promote discounts; for example, the United Airlines website has a page that introduces the latest offers and promotions.
