Time to book flights for better deals
We would recommend booking your flights in advance, a few months before coming, so you can get the best prices. If you can’t, you can also find good deals by booking a short time before you travel. Also, try to book it on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Many studies show that flight tickets are often cheapest to book on these days.
