The Best Time to Book a Flight In case you haven’t noticed, Still, a $600 summer flight to Honolulu isn’t exactly pocket change. What’s worse, flight prices are slippery; CheapAir.com’s 2017
traveling is expensive . It can feel like you’re signing away your soul when you sit down to plan a vacation.
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.
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.
How TruDenta Has Benefited Our Patients and Our Dentists Sometimes people can be skeptical of a new treatment, which is understandable. When someone claims that a new remedy will solve all your problems, it can feel like they’re trying to sell you on a magic pill. That’s why education and research are so important, and it’s part of the reason Livingston Dental added the TruDenta treatment program to our services. “What I’ve enjoyed are the personal benefits and process of learning about treatment modality — sports medicine with dental appliances,” says Dr. Livingston. “It’s relieved the clicking in the joints that I had. I don’t feel a soreness in the jaw when I rise in the morning. I’ve seen the benefits myself — my neck feels healthier, and I have more range of motion.”
Dr. Livingston has also seen how it’s improved many patients’ quality of life. “People are able to return to a normal life. Some have been able to discontinue medications for migraines and pain,” Dr. Livingston says. As one of only two dental clinics in the state to provide TruDenta, our office is eager to help educate others about the life-changing effects this treatment can bring. Call our office today to learn more and see why our dentists are even fans of TruDenta.
It’s estimated that 25 million people suffer from teeth grinding, or bruxism. That nightly impact on the teeth can lead to headaches, jaw pain, and other painful issues, and we’ve been researching ways to ease these problems for our patients. That’s where TruDenta came in. After listening to a presentation about the treatment, we knew it was what we’d been looking for. As we shared in our last edition, TruDenta combines sports medicine with dental care to treat patients who are suffering from jaw and head pain. Part of the treatment plan includes massage therapy performed by our TruDenta certified massage therapist, Shelbi, which targets the headache muscles to help ease tension. TruDenta has been successful for many of our patients in relieving headaches and jaw-related issues, including our very own dentist, Dr. Livingston. What does Dr. Livingston think of the treatment?
