The good news for 2017 airfare prices-- so far, anyway-- is there are plenty of bargains, even for flights to Europe. Yes, even for flights to Europe in the summertime.

Of course, some days will be cheaper to fly than others and much of it has to do with the seasons of the year. When seasons change, average airfare prices rise or fall. The key for bargain-hunting shoppers is to know which days to fly, and which to avoid.

Jan. 6: Don’t fly this day because the January Deal Zone kicks off Jan. 7 and lasts until March 5; this is one of the cheapest times of the year to fly for most destinations.

Feb. 11-24: This is a blackout period within the January Deal Zone as it includes some popular weekend travel periods thanks to Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) and Presidents’ Day (Feb. 20).

April 2: If you’re going to fly in April, fly by April 1 because the spring price bump generally kicks in on the second of the month.

June 3: Another price bump kicks in on June 3 for pre-summer fares so better to fly the day before on June 2 and you save some money (and this is usually true even if you simply begin your trip June 2).

June 20: Expensive summer fares get underway so if you don’t want to pay top dollar, start your summer trip before this date.

Fridays and Sundays: These are usually the priciest days of the week to fly on many routes so try to avoid them when you can. The cheapest days year round to fly are typically Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
