Some airlines haven’t posted yet for Christmas

The sooner the better.

The sooner the better

They say usually 6 weeks before & on a Tuesday morning. But also in general, the earlier out you book, you usually find cheaper rates.

Do they already have flight schedules out for Christmas? Doesnt it come out later in the year?

My husband purchased tickets for my kids and I to visit my brother for Christmas while my husband would be deployed. I think he either purchased them in August or September and during a Tuesday or Wednesday.

Middle of the night on a Tuesday! Book now for best deals.

As early as possible if u look up I think they say certain days at certain times as well the closer u get to Christmas the more expensive it becomes

Hard to say, but definitely too soon now. Use the Skyscanner app to help. I’m assuming this is a domestic flight.

I’d probably book in September, but things have changed a lot since I traveled regularly at holidays.
