Cheap Summer Flights

No matter what season, it always seems like summer is far away until it creeps up on you. This summer, ensure that you plan a vacation that will be big on fun and low on cost. The best way to do that is to keep your eyes open for cheap summer flights.
Consider a few of these top tips on how to keep your cash.

Timing is everything. The range between 30-90 days before your travel date is ideal when looking for cheap summer flights, because that is usually when airlines will release sale seats. Booking too early will take you out of the running for discounts, so be patient and wait until this block of time to look for cheap summer flights.

Do your homework. Even if you’re not ready to book, start looking at prices now. That way, you’ll have a better idea of what the average price will be for your ticket, and you’ll know when a cheap summer flight comes your way. Once it does, be ready to pounce on the deal.
Book midweek. Most people book vacations from one weekend to the next, so beat the system by booking a cheap summer flight on a Tuesday or Wednesday. This way, you’ll get the lowest fare that week, and be able to spend on other fun parts of your trip instead.
Consider a stopover. If you’re only going short-haul, this won’t apply to you, but for cross-country voyages, it can be easier to find a cheap summer flight if you’re willing to have a layover. Coast-to-coast flights are a perfect opportunity to save a little cash and have time to stretch your legs mid-journey.
