When Fares Tend To Be Cheaper

Historically, mid-week days like Tuesday and Wednesday have tended to see lower fares than weekends, when demand from leisure travellers peaks. Booking mid-week and avoiding Friday-to-Sunday searches can sometimes unlock a cheaper price for the same route.

How Far Ahead To Book

The sweet spot for most international routes is booking roughly two to three months in advance. Last-minute fares tend to spike, while booking too early rarely guarantees the best deal. Use price alerts to be notified when fares drop.

Be Flexible And Compare

The best price often depends on your flexibility with dates and airports. Comparing a few nearby dates and routes can reveal a much cheaper option, so always check more than one combination before you book.
