"According to a study conducted by Google Flights, travelers should book their Thanksgiving travel plans at least 24 days before departure. Additionally, Hopper recommends that last-minute buyers secure their tickets by Halloween. For Christmas travel, Google Flights recommends that flyers purchase tickets between 32 days and 73 days before travel, with 51 days before travel being the cheapest day to buy, meaning travelers should book their tickets on Nov. 2 for the best deal if they want to get in on Dec. 23."
"Aviation data from Cirium found that it's 2.2% more expensive to travel by air for Thanksgiving this year than last year, according to NerdWallet. Travelers can save about 13% on average if they fly on Monday through Wednesday, Google Flights said, and save an average of 22% if they're willing to take a layover. Another way to save is by picking a different airport."
