A few flight booking myths I’d like to clear up for everyone…
Following on from my video about when to book flights, I thought I’d clarify a few things because there’s SO much conflicting advice out there!
🔷 “There’s a magic number of weeks before you travel when flights are cheapest.”
Not really. Flight pricing is far more complicated than that — and it can vary a lot depending on the destination you pick, dates, demand and availability.
🔷 “Tuesday is always the cheapest day to book.”
I wouldn’t base a holiday decision around this personally. Prices can change constantly and there’s no guaranteed “cheap booking day”.
🔷 “If I wait, the price will come down.”
It might do, yes… but it might also go up (which is more likely to be fair) 😬 Once you’ve found a fare you’re happy with, I wouldn’t gamble on waiting, purely in the hope of saving a little more.
🔷 “The cheapest flight is the best flight.”
This is a BIG one. A £50 saving isn’t much of a saving if it means a terrible flight time, an unfamiliar airport that’s miles out of the way, long connection times or expensive extras.
My advice? Don’t get too caught up in trying to find the perfect day to book, as there probably isn’t one.
Look at the whole picture with me — your destination, travel dates, flexibility, flight timings, availability and the fare itself.
This really is exactly where having someone who does this day in, day out can help you!
I look at all sorts of destinations, from European hops to long-haul adventures, and I’ll always advise my clients based on their particular trip, rather than some so-called rule someone’s mate saw on TikTok! 😂
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to Google “cheapest day to book flights” - it may just help you out!
