And how many days in advance is it best to book a flight to save the most.
The Expedia 2026 Air Hacks report provides travel hacks for travelers. Here are the key takeaways.
Friday is the new best day to book.
Friday is also the cheapest day for international flights — approximately 8% cheaper than Sunday (the most expensive day). For travel within the USA, the cheapest day to fly is Tuesday, which can save up to 14% compared to Sunday.
The cheapest month to fly is August. August is the most budget-friendly month for international travel, with fares approximately 29% lower than in December (an average saving of 120 dollars).
Tuesday is the day with the lowest flight traffic, and Sunday has the highest. February is the calmest month for flights, while July is the busiest. The calmest specific dates are February 25, March 4, and November 18, while peak dates are May 22, July 3, and August 29.
International travelers can save an average of 190 dollars by booking tickets 31–45 days before departure, rather than six months in advance. For the most daring travelers, booking 8–14 days in advance can be the most advantageous, offering an average saving of 225 dollars.
"Micro-vacations" are gaining popularity. 24-hour "micro-breaks" started as a TikTok trend, but in 2026 they are becoming mainstream — a quarter of millennials and Gen Z plan to fly somewhere for just one day. The most popular destinations are Toronto, Nassau, and San Juan.
