The Best Time to Book a Flight
SAVE BIG ON AIRFARE WITH THIS SIMPLE RULE
Have you been injured in a car accident? The Marc Lopez Law Firm has handled hundreds of automobile injury claims over the years. If you have an auto injury claim, here are the 4 WORST THINGS you can do: 1. Fail to make a police report. Anytime you’re involved in a motor vehicle collision, you should immediately call the police and have a report made. Not making a police report can be the misstep that instantly sinks your claim. 2. Delay in seeking medical treatment. As an injured person, your only duty is to mitigate your damages—to seek treatment and follow professional medical advice. If you delay going to the doctor—or decline to follow the doctor’s instructions—that evidence can be used against you. 3. Receive treatment from a medical provider who initiates contact with you after you have been injured. There’s an entire industry of doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists that seek out people who’ve been injured and offer to treat them at “no cost.” THESE ARRANGEMENTS ARE SCAMS. Providers like these hope to bill insurance companies for the value of their services, and these same providers often have specific attorneys they want you to work with. These scams are structured so that everyone gets paid except you. Don’t fall for it. 4. Give a statement to the at-fault party’s insurance company without first speaking to an attorney. No matter how well-mannered its representatives are, this insurance company is your opponent. Its employees will do everything possible to get you to say something unflattering about your case. Don’t make it easy on them. If you’ve been involved in an automobile accident, give the attorneys at the Marc Lopez Law Firm a call at ( 317) 632-3642.

It can feel like you’re signing away your soul when you sit down to plan a vacation. But when it comes to flights, there’s good news: They’re getting cheaper! According to a 2017 report published by online travel company ODIGEO, long-distance trips across Europe fell 7 percent last year. Luckily, the same trend is reflected in North American airlines as they engage in a price war to woo a growing base of ultrafrugal travelers. Still, a $600 summer flight to Honolulu isn’t exactly pocket change. What’s worse, flight prices are slippery; CheapAir.com’s 2017 Annual Airfare Study determined that the fares for any given trip go up or down an average of 71 times, about $33 each shift. When you purchase your flight is nearly as important as where you’re going. But how do you choose a booking window that will maximize your savings? According to the CheapAir.com study, in which they evaluated 921 million airfares, the best time to book is 21–105 days in advance of your flight, on average. If you want to get even more specific, try to book 55–75 days out, and book on a Sunday. Many travelers swear by Tuesday and
Wednesday bookings, but as Condé Nast Traveler reports, Expedia and the Airlines Reporting Corporation. say that Sunday is the way to go, based on data from billions of flights. Tuesday andWednesday are usually the cheapest days to actually fly, though. The CheapAir.com study also pinpoints the absolute best windows for specific seasons: 54 days for winter trips, 75 days for spring, 76 days for summer, and 45 days for fall. Of course, these are averages, but if you stick to these rules and check fares regularly on sites like Kayak.com, SkyScanner.com, Momondo.com, and on the handy app Hopper, you can rest easy knowing you’re getting close to the best price possible.
