This is the Best Time to Buy Cheap Flights for 2018

Winter is here, and it’s getting very cold. If you’re in need of some winter sun after your holiday vacation, you are not the only one. But, luckily for you, January is a great time to book cheap travel. In fact, many airlines drop prices during the first few months of the year as this is considered the ‘slow season’. Act fast, and you should be able to get a bargain fare.

Book Now to Get the Cheapest Flights

At most airlines, you’ll find cheap fares through early March due to lack of demand during the slow season. Additionally, discount airlines Frontier, Allegiant, Southwest, Spirit, and Jet Blue are all running January sales right now. You can get your hands on many flights that cost less than $59 each way if you book this month.

As well as checking airline websites, compare flight prices on FareCompare, Kayak, Google Flight or Momondo too.

Watch Out for Spring Break Price Hikes

Unfortunately, if you’re planning a trip during Spring Break, prices will soar for the spring season. Roundtrip fares that usually cost around $100 can jump to a shocking $600 fare if you fly from late March through April.

if you’re traveling through Spring Break, try to book a midweek flight to bring down travel costs, though you should avoid Easter weekend, if possible. Record numbers of people are expected to travel this year, so book your vacation early to make sure you get the best price.
