The Best Days To Book Holiday Travel Are Coming Fast

With the thermometer still reaching into triple digits it may seem a bit early to book your

cold weather travel but it’s not .  If you plan to travel for Thanksgiving or Christmas, global travel search site Skyscanner says the best time to book flights was last week! Yikes.

Skyscanner reports, "During that time travelers can save nearly 5.5 percent on Thanksgiving travel, close to 19 percent for Christmas and almost 15 percent for New Year's Eve." If you didn’t get your flight booked, here are a few other good times still to come to book for each holiday:

• Thanksgiving: Booking the week of September 14th could save you an average of 4 percent, and booked two weeks prior to turkey day may save you an average of 3.8 percent.
• Christmas: Booking the weeks of August 31st or September 28th may save an average of 12.7 percent and 9 percent, respectively. If you book the week of November 2nd you still might save 4.8 percent.
• New Year's Eve: The weeks of September 14th and 28th could save travelers an average of 8.5 percent, and booking the week of December 14th can save an average of 6.3 percent. (Yahoo)
