With Dream Vacations, you really can have it all.
Here are a few tips to show you just how to do that.
1. Plan to purchase airfare between three and nine weeks before your trip, whenever possible. Flights tend to be cheaper this far in advance if you need to travel on specific dates and times.
2. Travel on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays whenever possible. Flights tend to be more crowded on weekends or on weekdays that backup to weekends (Mondays and Fridays). Since those flights are in higher demand they also sell at higher rates. So if you can plan your trip to fall in the middle of a week you could save big.
3. Fly on holidays if possible. If your entire family is gathering at Grandma’s on Thanksgiving Day, try catching a flight early that morning so you can still arrive for dinner but at a cheaper cost. The days leading up to a holiday can be more expensive since there is a higher demand for airline tickets. But, nobody really wants to fly on a holiday so airlines are more desperate to get their flights filled and offer cheaper rates as a result. This rule typically only applies to major holidays like Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving.
