“When we crunched the numbers, we surmised that six weeks out, which means the week of October 3rd for Thanksgiving and November 7th for Christmas, will be the general ‘point of no return’ this year when it comes to airfare. During those two weeks, an average traveler will likely pay about 14 percent less than the most expensive holiday airfare available this year to the same place. But that’s just an aggregate average. Depending on the destinations, savings will range from 10 to more than 50 percent. Once you’re within the six-week window, prices will take some big jumps.”
