Sometimes you just need to escape.
From bustling cities to sunny paradise beaches, there are plenty of affordable domestic and international round-trip destinations this spring and summer. Think Puerto Rico, Ireland, and Las Vegas.
According to travel app Hopper, travelers should start researching prices for domestic trips at least three to four months in advance, with the lowest prices available on average one to two months before departure. Masu.
International travel requires more careful planning, and flights to Asia and Oceania should be booked five to seven months in advance. However, those going to places like Europe can wait up to 3 and 6 months for the lowest rates.
As always, flexibility allows for better deals. Hopper said travelers could save up to 30% by flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday compared to traveling over the weekend.
