Finally, there’s a scientific answer to that magic number of days before a flight when tickets are at their cheapest.
The answer? Are you ready? Are you reeeally ready?
Fifty-four days before takeoff is, on average, when domestic airline tickets are at their absolute lowest price. And if you don’t hit 54 days on the head, you should usually book between 112 to 21 days before your trip -- within the “prime booking window” -- for the lowest possible prices. In this window, ticket prices typically hover near the lowest price they’ll ever reach.
At least that’s what the data from 2015 tells us.
