Jamie learned the hard way but you don’t have to…
🤔 Myth: flights get cheaper the longer you wait.
🤯 Reality: airlines raise prices as departure dates near because they know last-minute bookers (business trips, weddings, graduations, etc.) have to fly no matter what.
The bargain you’re holding out for? Mostly full of weird layovers, price hikes, and red-eyes.
The sweet spot is 1-3 months out for domestic U.S. flights and 2-8 months for international flights.

UPDATE: EXPIRED
Paid members got the lowdown first, but we couldn’t leave the travel community hanging. Upgrade at the link in our story to get the full details.
How about a mistake fare from Toronto to get you going? Did we mention it’s over PEAK SUMMER to EUROPE?! At prices like these, can you afford not to go?
Buffalo, don’t sleep on this one either. BAGS ARE INCLUDED (a $150+ value) from Toronto to Dublin courtesy of United & Aer Lingus. These are equivalent to a fare of $150-$170 roundtrip in basic economy, if you’re a habitual bag checker.
These prices are hundreds of dollars cheaper than the equivalent currently available out of nearby US airports such as Buffalo, NYC, or even Boston (a stretch further but still cheaper) or really anywhere in the US for summer travel. If Ireland, or anywhere in Europe is on your summer list, act now or forever hold your peace.
If you’re even considering booking, we highly recommend locking in a fare ASAP, booking directly through the airline, and taking advantage of the 24-hour rule to get your plans sorted before deciding whether to keep the ticket.
Important things to know about Mistake Fares:
1. Book immediately! (Directly with the airline when possible)
2. Use the link in stories for this deal.
3. Don’t make any non-refundable plans for two weeks.
Ever booked a flight with points and wondered if you actually got a good deal? 🤔
Most people aren't sure, and they're leaving thousands of points on the table every single redemption.
That's exactly why our flight experts built shouldibookthisflight.com. A free tool that instantly tells you the cents-per-point (CPP) value of any flight so you know if you're scoring a deal or torching your hard-earned miles.
Just plug in the cash price and the points price. The tool does the math, compares it to industry benchmarks, and tells you whether to book with points, pay cash, or wait for a better redemption.
No more guessing. No more "I think this is a good value?????????" No more wasting 80,000 points on a flight you could've grabbed for $300.
Whether you're sitting on Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, Capital One miles, or a stack of airline miles you've been hoarding... this tells you exactly when to pull the trigger.
