These are the exact dates to start searching for the best holiday travel deals, and the best days to fly.
AAA Travel analyzed its flight booking data from the last three years to pinpoint the best window to make your Thanksgiving and Christmas plans. And Sept. 25 — that’s next Wednesday, or just two days after the first day of fall — marks the date to start looking for the best deals on Thanksgiving week flights. The following day is when travelers should start wrapping up their Christmas itineraries, as well.
American Airlines AAL, -1.10% doesn’t expect the Boeing BA, -1.31% aircraft to return to its schedule until Dec. 3 , Conde Nast Traveler reported, and United UAL, -0.37% says the Boeing 737 Max won’t return to its operations until Dec. 19 . Southwest LUV, -1.07% pushed the aircraft off of its schedule until January 2020.
Even Christmas fliers should get moving now. While AAA found that most travelers wait until between Oct. 26 to Nov. 27 to start arranging their Christmas flights, it says that the real sweet spot to find bargains falls between Sept. 26 and Oct. 25, or 61 to 90 days before the Dec. 25 holiday. Prices will be lower on average at $551, compared to $561 for those who book a month later.
But if running a little late to the Thanksgiving Day table isn’t an issue, then flying on Thanksgiving itself has the lowest ticket price at $454.
