Though fall<\/a> has just begun, it’s not too early to start thinking about your holiday travel plans.<\/p>\n

In preparation for Thanksgiving<\/a>, Christmas<\/a>, Hanukkah<\/a>, New Year’s Eve and any other holiday travel, there are some timely to-do items, such as booking your flights and renewing your passport.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Book your flights by October<\/h2>\n

If you haven’t already, you should book your flights<\/a> by next month at the very latest.<\/p>\n

For the winter holidays<\/a>, the best time to book your flights is typically in September and early October, per booking app Hopper, which says that flights could be at least $100 cheaper during that time.<\/p>\n

According to an analysis of 11,000 travel itineraries<\/a> examining the best months to book holiday flights, CheapAir notes that Thanksgiving airfares are up by 12% and Christmas flights are up 11%, compared to 2022 prices.<\/p>\n

“While holiday travel days are more accommodating this year, airfare is still on the rise, so it is in travelers’ best interest to plan ahead and book early,” according to CheapAir.com, which analyzes airfare data.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Google’s 2023 flight booking trends report<\/a> suggests that average flight prices around Christmas are lowest 71 days before departure.<\/p>\n

Seeing as it’s late September, consider booking your flights now if you still need to do so.<\/p>\n
