Dreaming of a spring getaway? Now’s the perfect time to snag incredible international flight deals.
With airlines launching early promotions and travel demand shifting, smart travelers can lock in serious savings before prices spike. A little planning now means more adventures later—and way more cash left for exploring.
Best Booking Windows
For international flights in spring, the optimal booking window is typically 3 to 5 months before departure. This timeframe often offers the best balance between price and availability.
Booking too early, such as more than 6 months ahead, may not yield the lowest fares, as airlines adjust prices closer to the travel date.
Conversely, last-minute bookings—within two weeks of departure—can result in significantly higher prices. To maximize savings, plan and book within the recommended window.

Hi, my name is Jodie Price and I have been a flight attendant for the past four years. Before that, I was a teacher at a local school. During my summer vacations from teaching, I loved to jet off on an exciting adventure whenever I could.But the flights stressed me and my friends out so much that we almost stopped vacationing altogether. Would another form of transportation be easier?
