A FLIGHT attendant has revealed the cheapest month to book flights for your summer holiday next year.
After the peak travel season in December, airlines look to maintain revenue during the quieter months – which means cheaper flights.
Travel operator Ski Vertigo alongside a flight attendant have revealed that January is the best time to secure a great bargain for your next holiday.
The fun, festive period between November to December is one of the busiest travel times for obvious reasons – Christmas and New Years.
And because of the travelling people get up to during this period, less travel in January.
This dip in demand encourages airlines and travel agencies to reduce prices to fill empty seats and hotel rooms, making the new year a great time for budget-conscious travellers to book their holidays.
January is often seen as a time to recover from the financial toll of the holidays, and many avoid travelling in the colder winter months.
With winter weather being less appealing for leisure travel and most people saving their holidays for later in the year, there’s significantly less competition for flights and accommodations.
This reduced demand pushes prices down, making it a prime opportunity for bargain hunters.
With fewer travellers in January, airlines and hotels are left with more unbooked seats and rooms.
In response, they lower prices to encourage bookings.
This increased availability gives travellers more options at lower prices as providers look to fill the excess capacity typical during this slower period.
Many airlines, hotels, and travel companies launch early-year promotions to kickstart sales after the holiday rush.
These deals are designed to appeal to tourists looking for bargains after the festive season.
January is a highly competitive month for these offers, with substantial discounts and package deals available, making it one of the cheapest times to plan and book a holiday.
Flight attendants have a special language they use to talk about passengers, including the ones they find attractive.
There are a number of other secret phrases used by pilots and cabin crew too, some serious and others less so.
