For all your Labor Day (September 2nd) plans, this is the time to get things booked. There are likely some last-minute deals hitting the travel sites, making it a perfect time to plan a quick getaway. Just note that normally, booking one to three months in advance of the holiday will net you the best deals.
October 31, 2024
For all the major holidays coming up at the end of the year (Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas), this is the latest you’ll want to book your travel. Thanksgiving is late this year (November 28th), and Hanukkah (December 25-January 2) falls over Christmas and New Year’s. The best prices for holiday travel this year will be in October.
November 29-December 3, 2024
Black Friday is always the perfect time to snag serious deals on travel, and this year is no different. This even includes some last-minute deals for New Year’s traveling. Cyber Monday (December 2nd) and Travel Tuesday (December 3rd) also have deals you won’t want to miss.
2025
Early January 2025
To celebrate the new year, tons of travel websites offer steep discounts on their flights. January tends to be the cheapest time of the year to book flights, in general. Get those 2025 travel plans set early to save the maximum amount of money.
January-Late February 2025
For all your cruise travel needs, late winter is the time to book. This is called “wave season” in the cruise industry, giving you the best deals of the year. Booking early will get you the most options.
March 1, 2025
Easter (April 20) travel is always popular, so don’t book any later than this date to ensure you get a good deal and don’t overpay. This is also the cutoff for any spring break travel plans you might be booking. Just remember, the earlier you book, the better the deal you’ll likely get.
April 14, 2025
Memorial Day (May 26) plans for 2025? This is the last day to get everything settled. If you want the absolute best deal for Memorial Day weekend though, start looking as early as February to save money.
