when is the best time to book airline tickets?
Europe: 151 days before your flight. The Caribbean: 101 days before your flight. Mexico: 89 days before your flight. Meanwhile, U.K.-based Skyscanner recently conducted a study of its own and said that the best time to book a cheap flight is five weeks in advance.
By Tuesday at noon, other airlines are scrambling to match those deals. So many people think that Tuesday afternoons are the best time to hunt for reduced airfare. Texas A&M University, however, crunched the numbers and found that weekends are actually the best time to book airline tickets. That's because airlines are more likely to lower their fares on Saturday and Sunday to attract leisure travelers.
