Based on extensive data points from the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) and OAG, this report debunks common myths and offers insights to help consumers save money on airfare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this report, Expedia has a new Flight Deals tool that aims to make finding cheap airfare easier. Here\u2019s a breakdown of the report\u2019s key findings, along with details about Expedia\u2019s new Flight Deals tool.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expedia travel trends<\/h2>\n<p>Expedia\u2019s 2025 Air Travel Hacks Report offers interesting insight on ways consumers can save money on travel. Some of these findings contradict conventional wisdom and popular travel advice. Some of it makes sense and aligns with my own experience of finding low fares. Other findings left me scratching my head. <\/p>\n<p>But regardless of your thoughts, I think they\u2019re worth testing out the next time you\u2019re searching for flight deals. Here are the eight findings from Expedia\u2019s Air Travel Hacks Report<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summer is NOT the most expensive time to travel<\/h3>\n<p>Starting things off bold, Expedia\u2019s data found that summer is actually not the most expensive time to travel: February and March are more expensive for both international and domestic travel. This might be because March is spring break for some school districts and the weather is nice everywhere, so why not get out of town for a little while?<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, August is has been deemed the cheapest month to travel \u2013 likely because that\u2019s when kids go back to school and adults have maxed out their vacation days) According to the report, traveling in August can save you up to 12% domestically and 7% internationally compared to February and March.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34708\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-1024x683.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-1536x1024.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins.jpg.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"You can save on travel with the Capital One Venture limited-time offer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins.jpg 2048w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-1024x683.jpg\"\/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"You can save on travel with the Capital One Venture limited-time offer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Traveler-taking-photos-of-ruins.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/woman-taking-pictures-of-ruins-2087391\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Haley Black<\/a> via Pexels<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunday is the best day of the week to book flights<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve all heard various reports over the years that booking on a certain day of the week gets you better flight deals\u2026followed by subsequent reports debunking this theory. Well, Expedia\u2019s data shows that <strong>Sunday remains the best day to book flights<\/strong>, with savings of up to 17% for international trips and 6% on domestic flights compared to booking on Monday or Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This information is based on average round-trip ticket prices for January through October 2024, sourced from ARC\u2019s airline sales database. I\u2019m a little skeptical about this since it doesn\u2019t account for airfare sales and other factors. But it\u2019s worth testing out if you have upcoming flights to book.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traveling on Thursday and Saturday can be cheaper<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to save money on airfare, avoid Sunday flights. Expedia\u2019s report found that consumers can save 17% on airfare by traveling on Thursday instead of Sunday \u2013 regardless of fare class and destination. Those traveling domestically can save 17% by departing on a Saturday instead of Sunday. Meanwhile, international travelers can save 15% by traveling on Thursday instead of Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense because most travelers have limited vacation dates, and flying home on Sunday allows them to get back to work on Monday. This preference can drive up the cost of Sunday travel substantially.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22633\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-1024x683.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"Lyft pickup at San Francisco International Airport\" srcset=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-83x55.jpg 83w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-576x384.jpg 576w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-1152x768.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-165x109.jpg 165w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-1024x683.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Lyft pickup at San Francisco International Airport\" srcset=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-83x55.jpg 83w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-576x384.jpg 576w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-1152x768.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/San-Francisco-International-Airport-Lyft-Pickup-165x109.jpg 165w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>According to the Expedia Air Travel Hacks Report, you might save money on flights by traveling on Thursday or Saturdays.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Booking closer to departure might be cheaper<\/h3>\n<p>Another travel myth bites the dust with this year\u2019s findings: booking far in advance isn\u2019t always the best strategy. For domestic flights, the ideal booking window is 1-3 months before departure, which can save you 25% compared to last-minute bookings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Booking international travel 18-29 days before departure can save you up to 17% compared to booking three months out or further.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pointchaser.com\/news\/my-strange-travel-booking-phobia\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"22778\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">master procrastinator<\/a>, I\u2019m more comfortable with the idea of booking a flight 3-4 weeks out than most people. If you prefer to book in advance, Expedia offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/why\/price-drop-protection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"mentions\">Price Drop Protection<\/a>, which automatically refunds the difference if your fare drops after booking.

That\u2019s not an insignificant amount. For example, if the price difference between economy and business was previously $2,000, that cost has dropped by $200. While that doesn\u2019t mean business class is suddenly super affordable, it\u2019s always nice to see prices dropping.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s hope the trend continues.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34719\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-1024x683.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-1536x1025.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat.jpg.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"You can fly KLM business class to Europe with the Capital One Venture Card limited-time offer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat.jpg 2048w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-1024x683.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"You can fly KLM business class to Europe with the Capital One Venture Card limited-time offer\" srcset=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/KLM-business-class-seat.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Upgrading to business class might be more affordable, according to the Expedia Air Travel Hacks Report.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid the crowds by traveling on these dates<\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you all, but I refuse to travel during peak dates. I will gladly stay home in the summer and during the holidays if it means avoiding crowded airports and planes. Instead, you\u2019ll find me in New York in January or Ireland in late December, not minding the cold weather one bit while I enjoy the sights without swarms of tourists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you want a quieter travel experience, you don\u2019t have to go to this extreme. Instead, Expedia\u2019s report indicates that traveling on Tuesday will help you avoid the crowds. February is the quietest travel month, which is odd because it also happens to be one of the most expensive months to travel.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fly early morning to avoid delays and cancelations<\/h3>\n<p>According to the Air Travel Hacks Report, you can avoid cancelations by traveling in the morning. Morning flights are less likely to be canceled compared to flights departing after 9 p.m. which have a 57% chance of being canceled. By picking a flight between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., you\u2019re less likely to experience travel disruptions.<\/p>\n<p>At 1.2%, flights departing in August and September have the lowest cancelation rates, while August also boasts the shortest average delays.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" alt=\"Airplane wing over a city\" class=\"wp-image-33411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window.jpg 1920w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window-1024x575.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Airplane wing over a city\" class=\"wp-image-33411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window-1536x863.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/875625b2.delivery.rocketcdn.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/View-from-an-airplane-window.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>You might be able to avoid delays by choosing an early morning flight.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expedia\u2019s Flight Deals tool<\/h2>\n<p>Expedia has also launched a new feature on its app, designed to save you money on airfare.
