When will flights be cheaper?

In 2020, flights departing on a Monday were generally the cheapest of the week, whereas you may pay a premium for weekend flights when demand is usually high. On average, tickets were most expensive for Saturday departures, so if you need to fly out on a weekend, you might look for deals ahead of time.

When will airfare prices drop?

There’s a huge drop off in September and October, though, with prices often about half of summer rates in the $200-$300 range round trip. I found one round trip on United for $208 round trip, departing the weekend after Labor Day.
