THE BEST TIME TO BOOK A FLIGHT SAVE BIG ON AIRFARE WITH THIS SIMPLE RULE

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 and Wednesday 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.

In case you haven’t noticed, traveling is expensive. 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.

OUR CLIENTS SAY IT BEST

“My husband and I were in a car accident last year, just under a month before I was due with our daughter. Our family friend told us to look into the Advocates, and I’m so glad we did. The accident caused a pretty severe domino effect on our finances and mental health, and we fell into a pretty dark place. Dave and his assistant were so incredibly helpful and kind to us throughout the process and were always, always there whenever we had a question or concern. I don’t want to write a sob story, but we want to thank you guys from the bottom of our hearts for helping our little family. We can finally breathe and say, ‘It’s going to be okay.’ Thank you.” –Kel ly F

“I was in a car accident and decided to get an attorney after several days of dealing with everything on my own. It was the best decision I have made. This process has been simple and is truly focused on my recovery. I highly recommend this group.” –Amanda Mann
