I also know WHEN to book. + There is a science to airfare:  The day, time of day , and the time of the month that you book matter. + The number one mistake I see most travelers make is to book too early. Unless you are planning travel for high-traffic days, like Christmas or July 4, you stand the best chance for the lowest possible fare 45 days out for domestic travel and 60 days out for international. + Outside of that 45-day window most airline computers aren’t programmed to give you any kind of a deal.
