It used to be you could get some better deals on air travel by waiting until the last minute – but that’s not the case right now...
The average costs of flights are up about 18% up this year. Airlines are cutting back, which means fewer flights and empty seats to fill last minute. Accord to Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare.com, the longer we wait to book a flight, the more we’ll pay. He estimates prices will rise $5 per day between now and Thanksgiving.
To get the lowest prices, avoid flying the Sunday and Monday after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Day and that Friday should be the cheapest. You can wait a while to book a flight near Christmas, but try to do that by early November.
