KAYAK analyzed its data from 2019 for Reader’s Digest to help predict the most expensive days to fly within the United States in 2020. Unsurprisingly, they found that the most expensive days to fly are around the holidays.
In 2019, the days leading up to or after Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, and Memorial Day weekend saw the highest median airfare. December 21, 2019—the Saturday before Christmas—had the highest median ticket price at $588. There was also a spike in ticket prices on July 7, 2019, the Sunday after the 4th of July. Median airfare was $570. If these prices are stressing you out, try using this browsing mode to get the cheapest airfare.
Based on the data they collected from 2019, the days you’re going to want to avoid flying on in 2020 are:
12/19/20: Saturday before the holiday weekend
12/16/20: Wednesday before the holiday weekend
7/5/20: Sunday after July 4th
11/29/20: Sunday after Thanksgiving

If you already know that you’re going to be traveling during these holidays, know that you can save money by booking a flight on the actual holiday or the weekend after if you book far enough in advance.
The travel experts at KAYAK say that the cheapest median airfare for domestic holiday airfare can be booked about three weeks out. So keep that in mind when solidifying your travel plans for 2020. For more help, here’s when to buy flights for every holiday of the year.
