POINTS PATHThis data also contradicts pricing trends for the whole year to date; fares have generally been lower across the board until now.Related: New data confirms steep drop in Labor Day weekend airfareTPG recommends booking domestic airfare one to two months ahead of travel, so prices are not likely to come down in the next few weeks.Right now, the Points Path data shows the cheapest day to travel during Thanksgiving week is Thanksgiving Day itself, with an average airfare of about $470. If you leave early that week (like on Monday), you'll find the average fare is $537. The second-lowest airfare is for the day after Thanksgiving at $517.Not surprisingly, the most expensive travel days are the weekend after Thanksgiving, with Saturday at $698 and Sunday at $802.Related: The best time to book flights for the cheapest airfare in 20252025 prices for Christmas travelHoliday decorations at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD).

POINTS PATHRight now is really the best booking window before prices start rising quickly. Remember to set those flight alerts and start monitoring prices. You will probably want to pull the trigger by Halloween for Thanksgiving trips; for Christmas, plan on being booked a week or two after Halloween at the latest. Prices will likely increase quickly from then.TPG and Points Path data shows that the cheapest day to travel during the Christmas holidays is Christmas Eve, with an average airfare of about $530. If you can travel on New Year's Eve, that is the other cheapest day, with an average airfare of $528.The most expensive days are Saturday, Dec. 20, when the average price is $851, and Friday, Dec. 26, at $815.Best time to book flightsAmerican Airlines jets lined up at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). CLINT HENDERSON/THE POINTS GUYIt's a myth that you can get better prices by waiting until Tuesday at midnight or some other special time of day or week to book. But you can often get a better deal if you fly midweek or are willing to travel on weekends, especially Saturday. Generally, there is less business travel during those days, so you'll get better deals.Typically, you'll want to book domestic flights one to two months ahead of time. Traditionally, we've seen the best prices for Thanksgiving travel in October.The booking windows for international trips are a bit earlier. You should book international travel three to five months ahead of time.Remember that if you're using airline miles, it's never too soon to start checking and booking. We usually find the best availability for business class when schedules open, or within a few days before the trip, though your mileage may vary.For domestic redemptions, it's a bit more dynamic. TPG suggests booking when you can find a "good enough" redemption and then monitoring prices. Remember, as long as you haven't booked basic economy, you should be able to cancel and get your miles back if you find a better deal.I strongly encourage folks to set Google Flights alerts and carefully monitor prices. Points Path can also monitor airline award prices and alert you to changes.If you are booking with an airline that will give you a flight credit if the cash price drops, you might also want to lock in a lower cash or miles price now if you see a travel time you really want to be sure to lock in. Then, if the price drops, you can call the airline and get a trip credit for the difference (just don't book basic economy).Related: How to get money back on your flightsMore hacks for cheaper travelThe Grand Hyatt Kauai in August 2025.

But that doesn't matter at this point — it's time to book.
