Mumbai: The cheapest month to fly in the country is February, when consumers save about 18 per cent on airfare, while booking 22 weeks in advance usually results in around 15 per cent savings, a recent study said.
The cheapest flight tickets from India are available 22 weeks in advance of travel, on average.
However, three years of booking data also show that price patterns can vary by type of airline, distance of travel, and hence is destination-dependent, global travel search sitte Skyscanner's 'Best Time to Book' analysis revealed.
"The earlier in advance you book, the better. It is also important to note that prices can really increase at the last minute, especially on budget airlines," Skyscanner's Senior Marketing Manager for India Kavitha Gnanamurthy said.
