As Thanksgiving and Christmas inch closer, travel experts recommend booking flights and hotels sooner rather than later.
When should I buy tickets for winter holiday flights?
"For the holidays, in particular, that's a real problem because now is actually the best time to be booking your Thanksgiving and Christmas travel," Berg said.It's not just a pricing issue, Berg said. She also noted another risk of waiting: "Flights may be sold out completely on the dates you want to fly."Scott Keyes, the founder of flight deals and travel advice site Scott's Cheap Flights, told CNN Travel the very best deals were actually this past summer .
Phil Dengler, a co-owner of the travel resource The Vacationer, uses a popular fall holiday as his guide."I view Halloween as the cutoff date for getting a reasonable price on a Thanksgiving flight, but aim to get booked before then," Dengler said in an email interview. "After Halloween, prices will increase considerably as Thanksgiving gets closer. For Christmas flights, you should really book before Thanksgiving, but the best deals are between now and Halloween.
To save money, the travel company suggested waiting until Monday to depart instead of Saturday and Sunday , "as the weekend is the most expensive time to start your Thanksgiving week trip."
