Not only is the day after Thanksgiving famous for its countrywide retail discounts, but it’s usually a day most airlines also have deals. Be sure to check back here and with your favorite airline on Black Friday when booking your 2025 flights!

Boxing Day

For our friends outside the United States, Boxing Day is another prime day to find good airfare deals. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic typically have deals on Boxing Day and are go-to airlines if you’re flying out of the United Kingdom.

Regular Deals

We recommend joining an email list for your favorite airlines if you’re looking to find deals on the regular. Airlines like Southwest Airlines and Allegiant Air tend to have nice deals every few weeks, so those are two you may want to watch as the year progresses.

Airline Passes

If you don’t want to have to worry about timing, you should definitely look into year-long passes that offer all-you-can-fly programs or something similar. Some of our favorites include Southwest’s Companion Pass and Frontier Airlines’ GoWild! Pass.

60 Day Rule

Finally, if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of discount hunting and just want tips on how to save a quick buck, our general rule of thumb is that the best airfare value is typically 60 days out from your trip. We have consistently found the most fair prices when we book flights in that time frame.

There you have it! Random airfare deals drop constantly, so stay tuned right here at DFB for all the latest updates!
