Tips for Booking the Cheapest Flights (Airline Tickets): Practical Tips Based on Traveler Experience and Real Price Data

1. Best Time to Book (Booking Window)- Domestic Flights: Book 1–3 months in advance (approximately 30–90 days) for the best prices.- International flights: Book 2–6 months in advance.- Long-haul flights: Book 3–8 months in advance (some routes 5–11 months in advance if using miles).- Peak season (Songkran, year-end, Christmas, New Year, European summer) → Book 1–2 months earlier.- Avoid booking too close to the date (<21 days) as prices will skyrocket (especially last-minute bookings).
2. Cheapest travel days (flight days):- Tuesday – Thursday → Cheapest (especially Wednesday) because there are fewer people.- Saturday – Sunday → Most expensive (holidays).- Early morning or late night → Cheaper than daytime flights.- Flexibility ±3 days around your desired dates → Often saves 20–50%.
3. Additional money-saving tips:- Fly low-cost airlines with connections → Cheaper than direct flights, but check baggage and layover times carefully.- Buy one-way tickets instead of round-trip → Sometimes cheaper (especially low-cost airlines). Try mixing different airlines.-Avoid major holidays → Songkran, New Year, Japan's Golden Week, Christmas-New Year → Prices are 2-3 times higher.
