  • Nov 23 Monday and Tuesday of Thanksgiving week are shaping up to be excellent value travel days for the budget traveler.
  • Nov 26 Turkey Day is almost always a great value for air travelers, especially for shorter flights that can get you to your destination just in time for dinner. Lighter crowds at the airport and on the plane make it particularly enticing for 2020.
  • Nov 29 The Sunday after Thanksgiving is historically one of the most expensive travel days of the year. You can save more than $100/ticket on average if you can fly home on Monday instead.
  • Dec 1 The cheapest day to fly over Thanksgiving week this year is the Tuesday after the holiday. The difference between flying home on Sunday and Tuesday is a head-spinning $215 on average.

  • Dec 24 Christmas Eve is usually pretty pricey as departure dates go. This year, the night before Christmas has some of the best savings of the week!
  • Dec 27 Flying home the Sunday after Christmas is going to be the most expensive option this holiday season. You can save close to $100 on average by waiting one extra day and flying home on Monday instead.
  • Jan 1 Because New Years Day falls on a Friday this year, it’s priced quite nicely. New Years Eve also offers great deals on airfare.
  • Jan 4 Sticking around until the Monday after New Years is a safe bet to save some coin (about $65/ticket). If you can push it to Tuesday, you’ll save more than $110 a ticket.
