NEEDHAM, Mass., Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
TripAdvisor®, the site that helps find the latest
reviews and lowest prices, today announced the "Best Time to Book"
for the Holidays report, revealing that November 6-18 is when travelers can consistently
find the lowest hotel rates on hotels for the last two weeks of
December.
TripAdvisor analyzed historical hotel pricing data to identify
the time periods offering the lowest rates on hotels for the
holidays in popular destinations around the world. The "best time
to book" is when hotel prices were consistently less than the
destination average.
Best Time to Book a Hotel for the Holidays – Nov. 6-18
For a hotel in the U.S.,
travelers booking during the optimal period of November 6-18 can save 18% compared to early year
peak rates. Travelers planning to stay in a hotel in Europe can book during this window to save 21%
compared to peak and for hotels in Asia, travelers can get 12% off versus
highs.
Best Time to Fly – Sunday Savings
While airfare
changes frequently and are dependent on the departure destination,
this year, with the Christmas holiday falling on a Monday,
travelers can save 14% on average by flying on Sunday, December 24 compared to flying the day
before on Saturday, December 23.
Similarly, flying on New Year's Eve
(Sunday, December 31) will save
travelers 12-23% on average vs. flying on other days during the
last week of December.
"Travelers wondering when they should book can rejoice in
knowing there's still time to find and book the best prices on
hotels for the holidays," said Brooke
