Hot Tip For Travellers: January Is the Best Month to Book Cheap Flights

The way to recover from the stress of any festive travels is to travel more. The best time to book a flight is in January, which actually makes perfect sense. People have just got back from the Christmas holidays; they've spent money on travel and other expenses that occur that time of year. Booking another trip may not be the first thing on many minds due to the post-Christmas slump — which means potential opportunities for you!

According to travel search engine Skyscanner via PR Newswire, early January is the ideal time of the year to find major travel deals for the first part of 2018, including both domestic and international flights.
