If you happen to fall into that bucket of irritated holiday travelers, read on. Hopper has just released a holiday travel cheat sheet.
Because let’s face it, who enjoys being gouged on ticket prices in order to spend Thanksgiving or Christmas with loved ones?
Currently, airfare for Christmas trips is averaging $406 per round-trip ticket, says Hopper. That’s an increase of 4% from this time last year and a whopping 13% above prepandemic prices. Hopper says it’s possible to save more than $100 off peak airfare by flying on less popular dates before and after each holiday week during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
It is the most popular day to return for Thanksgiving travelers, and also the most expensive, per Hopper. Departing the week before Christmas or on Christmas Eve or Day will save travelers the most. Savvy travelers will save 26% or about $100 per ticket by departing on Christmas Eve instead of taking a flight the weekend before the holiday.
