Booking a holiday for 2024? A travel expert has shared when they think flight prices are the cheapest.<\/p>\n

Cody Candee, CEO and travel expert at Bounce, said: \u201cIt may be well known that flight prices can fluctuate during the week, but few people know to book in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrices can drop cheaper during later hours of the day after business travellers book most of their flights.\u201d<\/p>\n

While flight prices generally fluctuate during the week, it might be cheaper to book a flight towards the end of the day when business travellers have already booked. Flight prices generally rise the closer it gets to the date of travel so it\u2019s a good idea to secure a good price when it appears.<\/p>\n

Cody added: \u201cTo make sure you are getting the cheapest prices on flights, don\u2019t just look on the major comparison websites, as often the smaller sites can have bigger discounts.<\/p>\n

\u201cSet up price alerts. This sounds simple, yet so many travellers forget this key step in grabbing the best flight deals.<\/p>\n

\u201cSetting up price alerts will allow you to be notified any time a flight you\u2019re interested in drops in price, meaning you can be the first to get a deal. Apps such as Skyscanner offer this service as well as KAYAK.\u201d<\/p>\n

British tourists who have a particular destination in mind can send up price alerts to see when their flight will be cheapest to book.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good idea to do a little research before booking a flight as some destinations are cheapest to book at particular times of year.<\/p>\n

Of course, travellers can make huge savings if they have flexible plans. Cody added: \u201cIf you have a region in mind, don\u2019t just look at flights to and from the main airport, look at others nearby.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can then weigh up the cost of flying directly to the main airport or travelling to your destination from a nearby airport.<\/p>\n
