When Should I Book?
If you want to save money on your Labor Day weekend trip, when should you book? According to our data, book before August 10th. We found that median domestic airfare stays around $200 if you book before that date. After August 10th, however, prices start to climb significantly.
What Days Should I Travel?
When trying to pick which days to travel, generally your best bet is to leave on Sunday, September 3rd and return on Tuesday, September 5th. The most expensive day to travel? Leaving on Thursday, August 31st could cost you over $150 more on airfare. But try it out for yourself. Use our Flexible Dates tool to see if leaving a day or two earlier/later can help you save even more on airfare.
