Editor's Travel TipsEDITOR'S TRAVEL TIPS
With airline ticket prices constantly increasing, if you see a fare you want, don't wait! Most fares are cheapest between 2 weeks and 2 months out, unless you're booking for the big travel holidays – Christmas, Thanksgiving and Spring Break. These tickets can't be bought too early. Make sure you buy those tickets on a Monday or Tuesday, not Friday or Saturday as prices are better earlier in the week.
