If you plan to travel over the upcoming holidays, now is the time to buy your plane tickets. Fares are expected to rise over the next three months so the longer you wait, the more you’ll probably pay to fly.
According to CheapAir.com, the best times to fly around the Christmas holiday is December 18th and December 28th. Another good time is December 24th (later in the day).
If your plans could change, be sure to check out the airline’s cancellation policy. Another option is travel insurance but always read the fine print on these policies as they have lots of exclusions.
