The holiday season is approaching, and if you plan to go somewhere on vacation, then it's time to think about tickets now.

Edition USA Today collected tips on how and when to buy tickets for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Halloween

Airfare prices are usually low in October, and if you choose the right dates to buy, they will be even lower. Additionally, October 31st falls on a Monday this year, making it easier to get cheap tickets. Remember that the most profitable days for flights are from Tuesday to Thursday, the most expensive tickets are on Friday and Saturday.

To compare prices, you can take flights from Chicago to 3 cities worth visiting on Halloween: Salem, famous for its stories of witches (fly to the nearest airport - Boston); New Orleans with its "Haunted Mansion"; Orlando with theme parks and shows. By date we also take 2 vacation options: from Friday, October 28 to Sunday, October 30, or from Sunday, October 30 to Tuesday, November 1.

Boston (Salem):

Friday-Sunday: $ 152

Saturday to Tuesday: $ 107

New Orleans:

Friday-Sunday: $ 374

Saturday to Tuesday: $ 300

Orlando:

Friday-Sunday: $ 280

Saturday to Tuesday: $ 149

Thanksgiving Day

This year, this holiday fell on November 24; it is on this date that the lowest prices for flights traditionally fall, since few people want to spend the holiday on the road. You should not buy tickets for Wednesday, November 23 and Sunday, November 27 - they will be the most popular among those wishing to fly, and therefore the most expensive.

During this period it is very profitable to fly to Europe, such a flight can cost you less than domestic flights in the USA.

For example, a flight New York - Portland - New York on November 23 - 27 (the most unfavorable dates) will cost $644, and a flight New York - London - New York on the same days will cost $595.

Christmas and New Year

Direct flights are always more convenient than flights with transfers, but also more expensive. For example, a flight from Detroit to Los Angeles and back on December 22 - January 2 without transfers costs $595, with transfers - $494.
