flights should generally be booked early Unless you prefer sticking with the same airline and you're holding out for a sale you know is coming up, it's usually best to book as early as you can.Ticket verificationThe latest research from the comparison site Momondo* found it's generally best to book 60 days ahead (last time it did the research it was 56) and that booking then can be up to 30% cheaper than booking on the day of departure. The last cheap booking date varies by destination, though, so you can use Momondo's 'Flight Insight' tab on many routes to see the data for it (see Flight Insight for info). However Momondo's figures are based on the prices quoted in flight searches, and that factors in sales too, so take its 'perfect day to book' info with a big pinch of salt, and if in doubt book early. Momondo also found that Tuesdays and evenings (after 6pm) are generally the cheapest time to fly, while Saturdays are the most expensive. If you can be flexible, it's worth checking prices on different days and at different times to see if you can cut the cost further.
