Snagging The Best Plane Ticket Deals This Summer!
Believe it or not, summer is right around the corner and a lot of you are trying to head out of the Las Vegas summer heat for a little vacation. We are headed to New York for a week in the summer and I have been doing a lot of research on when to buy your plane tickets and when is the best time to fly in and out of Vegas.
Plane tickets are really expensive but some people treat it like a game to try to find the best prices possible on the best flights possible because let’s be honest that can make or break your trip… and the bank.
I have found out that timing is everything. No there is no one size fits all answer for this because timing, destination, and party size can sway things a bit. According to NerdWallet the best window to purchase your ticket is between 1 and 3 months before you leave. So mark your calendars set an alarm or a reminder that that is the sweet spot for when you should be looking for your great deals. They say it’s because that’s when the airlines release a lot of their inventory so you have a better selection yo choose from and the airlines are giving everyone competitive prices.
What day are you supposed to click “book now”? Yes. I just found out this is a thing too. Everyone… and I mean everyone says Tuesdays have the cheapest prices. Why it’s not on a weekend? Maybe because that’s when everyone has time to do it so they rack them up a bit? More traction on their sites. Supply and demand. That’s what I have found out.
When is the best time to say goodbye to Vegas and jet off on your vacation? Flying out on weekdays is always better for us locals. That leaves the weekends at the airports to be full of the Vegas vacationers. If you can try to fly out on a Wednesday and come back Sunday that will be cheaper and you will be doing the opposite of everyone hung over going back to their home on Sundays.
Timing is key for travel. Keep your eyes open for the best plane ticket deals and safe travels this summer!
