Expedia has released its 2023 Air Travel Hacks Report, providing the latest tips to save travellers time and money on flights.
Created in partnership with the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), and leveraging insights from its massive air ticket database, the annual report reveals data-backed hacks for travellers and travel advisors.
Top tips from the 2023 Air Travel Hacks report include:--
-- Book airfare on a Sunday to save on average 15% on domestic flights and 10% on international flights.
-- Book at least two months in advance for domestic flights to save 40% on average compared to those who waited until a month prior to departure.
-- Book at least 3 months before international flights to save 10% on average compared to those who waited until two months or less prior to departure.
-- Depart before 3 p.m. to reduce chance of cancellations. Flights departing after 3 p.m. have a 15% higher chance of cancellation on average than those that depart earlier in the day.
--Depart on a Friday rather than the beginning of the week to save up to 20% on domestic flights. Saturday, Sunday and Monday are the priciest days to start a trip. For international travel, Thursday is cheapest, with Sunday and Monday the most expensive.
"This report does more than save people money," said Jon Gieselman, president of Expedia Brands. "It's about the time savings and peace of mind that comes with knowing you have industry leading data-based tips at your fingertips to inform booking decisions."
