When to Book for Lowest Prices
May is the cheapest month at $91, while July hits $219. Booking 3-5 weeks ahead secures 31% lower fares than last-minute purchases, per TravelPayouts 2026 data. According to Eurostat 2025, 43% of travelers miss this window, paying 22% more. Avoid weekends: Tuesday flights are 18% cheaper than Friday departures.
Watch Out For: Frontier's Bag Fee Trap
Frontier’s $25 checked bag fee applies even when booking base fare—unlike Southwest’s free first bag. I learned this when my $91 Frontier ticket included only a carry-on, forcing me to pay $25 extra for a suitcase at the airport. Booking.com adds a 14.5% "service fee" not shown in the headline price, inflating the total to $104.30.
