Book affordable last-minute Memorial Day travel at this exact date and time, experts reveal

Memorial Day weekend is coming up quick, and though it’s set to break a holiday travel record, it’s not too late to book an affordable trip.Ticket experts at AttractionTickets.com have discovered the best day and time to book a last-minute Memorial Day weekend vacation — and they’ve got it down to the exact hour.After analyzing pricing data and industry travel trends, they found that the best time to book a getaway is either this Sunday, May 18, specifically at around 6 a.m.Sunday is the most cost-effective day of the week to book your trip since airlines tend to drop new and discounted fares and adjust their inventory over the weekend.“It’s a common misconception that booking earlier always guarantees the best prices,” Oliver Brendon, CEO of AttractionTickets.com said in a statement.

“The reality is that airlines regularly adjust their fares based on demand, and savvy travelers can benefit from these fluctuations even just a week ahead of departure.”Experts noted that people going on holiday should avoid booking on Fridays, which is when fares tend to increase due to demand.Booking on a Sunday can save globetrotters up to 23% compared to booking on a Friday, they said.They also said that they have noticed “consistent trends” that booking a flight in the early morning has been the best time to get a low fare.

Around 6 a.m.is often when fresh fares are dropped and airlines adjust pricing algorithms before the search traffic for the day takes off.“If you’re still looking to book a Memorial Day trip, we recommend getting online early on the morning of Sunday 18th May, or Sunday 25th May if you’re feeling particularly risky,” the experts revealed.“These dates fall just a week before the long weekend, giving families just enough time to prepare while still capitalizing on some of the best available pricing.”...
