However, even if customers miss the ultimate time to book, the experts at Opodo say there are still ways to save.
“We tend to think that the further in advance we book, the cheaper the flights will be, however, our data reveals that this is not always the case,” they revealed.
“Aim to book your flight about 31-43 days before you travel to take advantage of lower prices. But once again, the optimum booking period depends on your destination.”
The research also shows that domestic flights are cheapest when booked between 44 and 50 days in advance, boasting savings of around £46.
Contrastingly, spontaneous travellers are in luck if they want to go to Australia or the wider Oceania region.
The best flight deals were revealed to be on offer just three weeks in advance of the flights, averaging at £896 compared to £1287 if booked three months in advance.
