When Is the Best Time to Book Flights?

Let’s face it — flight prices can feel like a wild rollercoaster. 🎢 One minute you’re cheering, the next you’re wondering if you should’ve booked last week. But don’t worry — Raffi’s here to take the stress out of it with easy tips to help you find that sweet spot when booking flights.

🕰️ Best Time of Day to Book

You might think time doesn’t matter online, but it totally can!

✅ Best time to search:

• Early morning (5–9 AM) or

• Late at night (after 9 PM)

These are quieter times, with fewer people online searching — which can mean better prices or more seat options.

📅 Best Day of the Week to Book Flights

Drumroll please... 🥁

📌 Tuesday and Wednesday are your best bets!

Why? Airlines often release or adjust fares after the weekend — especially late Monday night or early Tuesday. You might catch a quick price drop before everyone else notices.

📆 How Far in Advance Should You Book?

Here’s Raffi’s “travel timeline” for getting the best bang for your buck:

🛫 Domestic Flights: Book 1 to 3 months before departure

🌍 International Flights: Book 2 to 6 months ahead

🎄 Holiday or Peak Season Travel: Book 4 to 8 months in advance (yes, really!)

Last-minute flights can work in rare cases, but they’re risky, especially during busy seasons or if your dates aren’t flexible.

🦒 Raffi’s Extra Tips for Flight Deals

✔️ Set price alerts on tools like Google Flights, Hopper, or Skyscanner — they’ll tell you when prices drop.

✔️ Use incognito mode when searching, to avoid possible price hikes based on repeated searches.

✔️ Be flexible — even changing your trip by one day or flying into a nearby airport can save you a chunk of change!

🧳 Final Boarding Call:

Want the best flight deals? Book on a Tuesday morning, plan ahead, and stay flexible. It’s that simple. 😊✈️
