Holiday Flight Deals

Holidays are high-demand, but deals do happen. The winning move is flexibility: airports, day-of-week, and booking windows.

Thanksgiving Christmas New Year Spring break

Rules that actually work

Fly on “off days” (earlier/later than peak travel dates).
Check nearby airports (sometimes the best “deal” is airport choice).
Track prices early and watch for short sale windows.
Nonstop flights price higher during holidays — compare 1-stop options.

What to track (simple system)

Create 3–5 searches for the same trip (different airports/dates).
When one drops, confirm the others didn’t rise at the same time.
Post the best finds in Deals with quick notes.

Common holiday traps

“Sale” fares that still cost more than typical non-holiday pricing.
Basic economy + bag fees ends up not being cheaper.
Overpaying because you waited until the last 7–14 days.

Placeholder examples (replace later)

Example: “Christmas week — early January return” often prices better.
Example: “Fly out Tue/Wed” vs “Fri/Sat” can change totals a lot.
Example: Watch “shoulder weeks” around major holidays.
