Heres what they found：while prices tend to stay the same between 320 and 106 days before a trip，they start dropping at the 105-day mark.That said，you might be tempted to book the moment prices drop.But hold on! Youll save even more money by booking precisely 70 days before your trip.According to CheapA，you can save 48 percent of the tickets total cost by using this trick.After that date，airfares will begin to increase again.And dont even think about booking any later than 20 days ahead of time，as prices will be soaring.
