CheapAir.com Reveals Best Time to Book Your International Flight

Whether you’re heading overseas with your partner to one of Europe’s most romantic cities this spring or getting ready to turn it out at an international Pride celebration later this summer, the time to book your airline ticket has long since passed, at least that’s what the latest findings from CheapAir.com indicate.

CheapAir.com has just released its 2023 International Airfare Study analyzing 917 million airfares across 10 global regions, uncovering the best times to book foreign travel. The report’s consumer insights include the most and least expensive months to travel, when to buy flights for the best deal, the cheapest days to travel, and the impact of seasonal variations. With global travel expected to increase by 30 percent this year, along with limited flight availability and ever-changing fuel costs, the key is to plan ahead and book early to obtain affordable airfare.

The study revealed that, regardless of destination, booking 10 months in advance will save travelers the most on international flight prices. The study also found that Tuesday and Wednesday are the most affordable days to go abroad from the United States. March is the cheapest month to travel internationally, depending on the region, with December, unsurprisingly, being the most expensive on account of the holidays.

“As consumers continue to be more comfortable and eager to take flights, it is important they have the information they need to make smarter travel decisions,” says CheapAir.com CEO Jeff Klee. “CheapAir.com is committed to equipping consumers with valuable airfare insights to allow travelers to fly internationally with confidence.”
