There are many myths circulating online about how to find cheap airline tickets. While some tips hold true, others can be misleading or only apply to specific airlines or regions. This article offers a pragmatic guide on when to book your flights for the best deals.

Understanding the Booking Curve

Different destinations follow their own patterns for booking and price increases, often referred to as the ‘booking curve.’ Some markets might start picking up sooner than others, while others are shooting up exponentially at the very last minute.

The best rule of thumb is that the longer the journey and the more expensive the tickets are at the baseline, the earlier they will be purchased. Generally speaking travel to and from Australia or intercontinental travel to and from North America, Europe, and North East Asia will be affected first. If the flight lasts more than 12 hours, be ready to book as soon as 10-12 months in advance to get a deal.

For intracontinental trips or travel shorter than four hours, something opposite might be true. Well in advance, the demand for such travel is so low that the flights are not even being optimized yet for the best price to market. Low-cost carriers might even gauge the early demand to decide whether the route should be maintained or cut preemptively.

Booking with full-service carriers lowers that risk as, on a short-haul flight, there are probably already long-haul connecting passengers booked. If you are looking for a good deal on a short trip, window-shopping around 6-8 months before departure is a good practice. Some markets might hit the lowest point at the three months mark.

Sunshine and Christmas

The biggest influences on ticket prices at a macro scale are seasonality and events. When they come together, it is every man for themselves.

The Northern Hemisphere summer is by far the most impactful seasonality theme. For most destinations, that will be the prime time to visit. At the same time, probably most of the flights will be departing with a sizable load and airlines will put a lot of effort into optimizing this period. The probability of finding a great deal is very limited but in this case, if you book early, you might just get an “okay” price.

The middle of the summer will mean vacations for most. Anybody with a family will need to take that into consideration, similarly to young adults looking for summer travel. You might try your way into booking some destination that are equally as good at the very beginning or towards the end of the season.

One day that there is no way of getting around is Christmas, which is the biggest surge in demand happening in the middle of the otherwise lean season for most airlines. With other events of similar magnitude, there is usually some wiggle room for you to exploit. Try to predict what would be the ideal pattern to visit the country and work against it. Visiting Japan just after the Cherry Blossom season might give you a perfect entry for the destination that tends to be expensive when flying long-haul.

The vast differences in seasonality also open an interesting avenue for deal-hunters. Not many flights will be less in demand than the first flight of the season to a popular summer destination on a seasonal route. If you are willing to cover some distance on the ground, why not take a year-round route to Rome, but travel back on the first flight of the seasonal route to Naples? Not all airlines will do it but some might give you the best deal you could find during summer.

Optimization Gimmicks

A common belief is that Tuesday nights are the best time to book flights, but while this might have some basis in airline pricing systems, it’s not a reliable rule to follow.

The days to travel on the other hand are a visible pattern. You can track your own flights and conclude yourself. In the majority of the world, the Saturday-Sunday weekend is followed. For this reason, you will see the most demanded flights to be Friday and Sunday followed by Monday and Saturday. Those days just make the most sense when travelling either for leisure or business. Being a contrarian pays off in this regard as well. You are likely to find better prices for Tuesday-Thursday travel.

Your Best Shot

Many are taken aback by airlines promoting cheap fares but not making them available for purchase. That frustration often comes when we follow the patterns of high demand mentioned above. They are not likely to discount the seats they know they can sell for a premium.

To increase your chances of finding a great deal, try to book outside peak travel periods and take advantage of promotional offers. Airlines are more likely to discount seats that are hard to sell, especially when marketing campaigns are involved. The more distant the trip, the further in advance it should be taken care of. Ultimately, it’s just business; empty seats aren’t profitable for airlines, so they’d rather offer discounts than let them go unsold.

Delta Expects ‘More Normalized’ Industrywide Pilot Hiring

Most major U.S. carriers hired pilots at record numbers soon after the COVID-19 pandemic but have since throttled back in 2024.

After cutting its pilot hiring figures by roughly 50% in 2024, Delta is forecasting a “more normalized” tempo next year. Most major U.S. carriers hired pilots at record numbers soon after the pandemic but have since throttled back.

The Atlanta-based airline hopes to return its regional capacity to pre-pandemic levels in summer 2025, driven by improvements in pilot supply, company leadership shared during a third-quarter earnings call on Thursday.

“With hiring and training normalizing, we are growing into our resources and gaining traction on efficiency and initiatives, helping fund continued investments in our people and brand,” said Delta finance chief Dan Janki during the call.

Data from the Future and Active Pilot Advisors (FAPA) shows that Delta has hired 870 pilots so far in 2024, representing an over 50% year-over-year change from the same period in 2023. As a whole, the industry follows a similar trend, with major U.S. carriers reporting a roughly 40% reduction in hiring numbers overall.

Delta expects industrywide pilot hiring to be more in line with 2019 levels.

“As you know, pilot constraints as the majors were hiring early in the recovery period put a lot of strain on availability of pilot crews for the regional carriers … and we’ve been working very closely with them,” Delta President Glen Hauenstein added.

He said that the company expects U.S. airlines to hire approximately 5,000 pilots next year. In 2019, airlines were just 23 new hires short of this figure, according to FAPA’s data.

“So [we are] returning to more normalized pilot hiring across the industry,” Hauenstein noted.

Another Airline Set to Retire Airbus A318

First debuted in 2002, the A318 is the smallest A320-series variant and, before the A220’s introduction, was the smallest Airbus aircraft.

First debuted in 2002, the A318 is the smallest A320-series variant and, before the A220’s introduction, was the smallest Airbus aircraft. Over the years, the so-called ‘baby bus’ has become increasingly rare.

British Airways retired its A318s in July 2020, which were exclusively used to operate all business class flights between New York and London City. Frontier — the type’s launch customer — removed the A318 in 2013.

Now, only two airlines still fly the A318. According to Cirium Fleet Analyzer data, Air France has a fleet of six with an average age of 19 years old.

The French carrier plans to retire the sub-fleet next year as more A220s enter the fleet. Air France’s A318s are largely used on domestic and short-haul flights within Europe.

Romania’s TAROM is slated to retire its single remaining A318 by the end of October 2024. Registered as YR-ASA, the aircraft is scheduled to operate through Oct. 26, per Aeroroutes.

Its last routes include Bucharest to Istanbul and London Heathrow. The financially troubled state airline opted to sell its four remaining A318s just weeks ago as part of a restructuring effort.

Airbus built just 80 A318s, which typically seat between 90 and 110 passengers. The aircraft are still used in different VIP configurations.

United Places Big Bets on Intra-Asia Flying

Here's why United is adding more intra-Asia flights from Tokyo Narita instead of its hub and crew base in Guam next summer.

U.S. airlines aren’t particularly well known for making bold moves, especially in 2024. But that’s not the case for United, which announced a unique set of new routes this week.

Starting next summer, the Chicago-based airline will add eight destinations to its route map, many of which are not served by any U.S. carrier. Most notably, United will begin serving Nuuk, Greenland, and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Nuuk is just a short four-hour hop from the airline’s Newark, New Jersey, hub, but Ulaanbaatar is one of United’s most remote destinations. Although the airline hasn’t finalized details on the route, it seems highly likely that the Mongolian capital will be served by a Boeing 737-800 from Tokyo Narita.

A Pacific Asset

Recently, United has been bolstering its intra-Asia network. Later this month, the airline plans to launch service between Tokyo Narita and Cebu in the Philippines.

Joining the new route to Ulaanbaatar next summer, the airline also plans to add year-round flights from Tokyo to Kaohsiung, Taiwan, beginning on July 11. In addition, the airline plans to fly between Narita and Koror, Palau, also on a year-round basis.

United also operates regular service from Tokyo Narita to Guam and Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, both U.S. territories in the Oceania region. With its large presence in both Tokyo Narita and Guam, the airline is using these assets to its advantage.

United’s Tokyo Narita hub was a relic of Pan Am. In 1985, United purchased the defunct airline’s assets in the region.

The hub was much larger, too, even in the early 2000s with nearly 5,000 annual intra-Asia flights from Tokyo Narita. That figure fell to zero in 2017, according to Cirium Diio schedule data. United flew to several large Asian markets, including Singapore, Seoul Incheon, and Hong Kong.

Now, with much of its long-haul operations shifted to Haneda Airport, the airline is thinking differently about Narita.

Redeploying the Guam 737 Fleet

United has an advantage in the Pacific with its other hub in Guam. Stemming from the 2010 merger with Continental, the airline’s presence in Guam is perhaps best known for the “Island Hopper,” which connects the U.S. territory with Honolulu via up to five Pacific islands.

But United has long maintained a pilot base and fleet of specially configured 737-800s in Guam as well. Data from Cirium Fleet Analyzer shows 11 Guam-based United 737s.

These jets are slightly modified from the airline’s typical mainland-based aircraft with cabin signs in different languages, enhanced satellite communication capabilities, and an onboard kit of spare parts.

With travel demand to Guam still down after the pandemic, United plans to redeploy some of these 737s to Tokyo Narita.

“I don’t think we will be looking at flying widebody jets beyond Tokyo anytime soon,” United Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Nocella told The Airline Observer. “But we have these 737s and a slot portfolio at Narita, and all the feed from the United States on widebody jets, and it created a unique opportunity. This seemed like something we would like to try, and the advanced bookings indicate that it’s going to be very successful.”

Tourism numbers in Guam are down by roughly half from 2019, according to the Marianas Business Journal.

Air Seychelles has reported a profit of USD $7 million in 2023, highlighting a strong continuation of its recovery efforts. This achievement reflects the ongoing success of its turnaround strategy, initiated in 2022, and highlights the airline’s strong recovery.

In a press statement on October 1, 2024, the airline announced it had shifted its net asset position from negative to positive in 2022, and its 2023 earnings demonstrate its commitment to sustainable growth and operational excellence.

Air Seychelles exceeded its budget by $1.6 million and surpassed its five-year plan targets by $4.7 million. This marks the airline’s second consecutive profitable year. Despite challenges, including the suspension of its Tel Aviv flights due to the conflict in Israel, which began on October 13 last year and resulted in a $2.1 million revenue loss for 2023, Air Seychelles still managed to increase its revenues by $2.8 million, thanks in part to the launch of its Colombo route.

The airline continued its wet-lease operations in 2023, leasing one of its A320neo aircraft under Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance (ACMI) contracts, while the second A320neo is leased from ALC was used for its regional network. The airline in May of this year placed one of its two Airbus A320 aircraft on a wet-lease contract with Etihad Airways, its former strategic partner.

Air Seychelles has also focused on improving its financial health by reducing its debt. By August 2024, the airline had paid down $4.9 million of its loan from Nouvobanq, reducing the outstanding balance from $16.5 million to $11.6 million. Additionally, it fully repaid a $4.5 million lease deferral debt incurred during the COVID era.

In line with its strategic objectives, the airline has taken steps to manage escalating maintenance costs, particularly concerning its A320neo engines. In 2023, it established a conservative annual accounting provision of $2.5 million to cover potential return conditions for its aircraft and engines.

Chief Executive Officer Sandy Benoiton expressed his gratitude to the airline’s employees, praising their role in driving these positive results. “Your professionalism, creativity, and teamwork have driven our success and exceeded our expectations. You have once again shown that our people are our greatest asset. As we move forward, Air Seychelles remains committed to excellence, growth, and resilience, ensuring a prosperous future for our company and stakeholders,” Benoiton said.

Fully owned by the Government of Seychelles, the airline operates regionally from its home base in Mahé to Colombo, Tel Aviv, Johannesburg, Mumbai, and Mauritius. Domestically, it operates up to 30 roundtrips daily to Praslin, the second-largest island in the archipelago, and also runs charters to other islands using its fleet of Viking DHC-6 Twin Otters, which provide vital inter-island connectivity.

Founded in 1978, Air Seychelles was renationalized in April 2021 after a challenging nine-year partnership with former shareholder Etihad Airways, which held a 40% stake. Following a period of provisional administration starting in October 2021, the airline emerged from restructuring in 2022, posting a net profit of $8.4 million after five consecutive years of losses. By the end of June 2023, Air Seychelles’ value stood at $24.5 million.

Boeing said Friday that it plans to cut 10% of its workforce. The financially ailing aerospace giant also announced sweeping changes to its commercial aircraft programs, including the 767 and previously-delayed 777X.

The company continues to face a month-long Machinists strike with Boeing’s chief operating officer Stephanie Pope saying it is looking at “next steps” due to unproductive negotiations.

In a letter to employees sent Friday afternoon, Boeing’s CEO Kelly Ortberg said the manufacturer is in a “difficult position.”

“Beyond navigating our current environment, restoring our company requires tough decisions and we will have to make structural changes to ensure we can stay competitive and deliver for our customers over the long term,” he added.

According to preliminary earnings figures, the company expects to report $5 billion in losses for the third quarter.

“We need to be clear-eyed about the work we face and realistic about the time it will take to achieve key milestones on the path to recovery,” Ortberg shared. “We also need to focus our resources on performing and innovating in the areas that are core to who we are, rather than spreading ourselves across too many efforts that can often result in underperformance and underinvestment.”

Ortberg said the company plans to lay off roughly 10% of its workforce, equating to 17,000 jobs. The cuts are set to take place over the next several months, he said, and will include executives, managers along with rank-and-file employees.

In addition, Boeing will further delay its Boeing 777X with initial delivery of the jet now expected in 2026, roughly a year behind schedule. Ortberg said the company is also permanently halting 767 production in 2027 after fulfilling current freighter orders.

Delta is once again expanding its long-haul network with a new international route. Slated to start in May 2025, the new service announcement comes just weeks after the airline added a batch of routes.

New flights between the airline’s Minneapolis/St. Paul hub and Copenhagen will operate three times weekly using an Airbus A330-300 aircraft. This route will begin in May 2025, though no specific date was provided in the carrier’s news release.

The airline currently serves Copenhagen on a seasonal basis from New York-JFK.

With the European airline’s entrance into the SkyTeam alliance, SAS and Delta just recently finalized a codeshare agreement in late September. SAS currently serves Delta’s largest hub in Atlanta along with Seattle starting in May 2025.

“Delta continues to strengthen its global network and offers unparalleled access to Europe from Minneapolis-St. Paul with this new direct service to Copenhagen, one of Europe’s most vibrant and culturally rich cities,” said Joe Esposito, Delta’s senior vice president of network planning, in a news release. “This route creates an invaluable connection between two major SkyTeam partner hubs, providing unrivaled connectivity and travel options for customers traveling between Scandinavia and North America.”

On Sept. 20, Delta announced new summer routes to Catania, Sicily; Naples, Rome, Milan, Barcelona, Dublin, and Brussels among others. Days later, the airline added service between Salt Lake City and Seoul beginning in June 2025.

Returning China Route

In addition to the new Copenhagen route, Delta also plans to resume service between Los Angeles and Shanghai. The carrier last served the route in 2020, axing it due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Service is slated to resume in June 2025. Flights will operate three times per week using an Airbus A350-900XWB aircraft.

With the route’s return, Delta says it will operate 17 weekly flights between the U.S. and China, including from its hubs in Detroit and Seattle.

Editor’s Note: AirlineGeeks is proud to present our ‘Livery of the Week’ series. Every Friday, a team member will share an airline livery, which can be from the past, present, or even a special scheme. Some airline liveries are works of art. The complexity associated with painting around critical flight components and the added weight requires outside-the-box thinking from designers. The average airliner can cost upwards of $200,000 to repaint, creating a separate aircraft repainting industry as a result.

Have an idea for a livery that we should highlight? Drop us a line.

Alaska Airlines recently debuted a new, eye-catching livery inspired by the Seattle Kraken, the city’s National Hockey League (NHL) team. The Kraken livery will be featured on a Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft, joining the airline’s fleet of uniquely themed aircraft.

The Kraken livery features the team’s logo and branding along the rear portion of the aircraft. According to the carrier, the livery will fly around during the 2024-2026 seasons.

Furthermore, the aircraft’s registration N933AK is a nod to the radio station 93.3 KJR FM, Seattle’s so-called Sports Leader and Home of the Kraken.

A Homage to the Seattle Kraken

As a proud partner of the Seattle Kraken, Alaska Airlines wanted to create a livery that would celebrate the team’s success and the excitement it brings to the city. The Kraken, the team’s mascot, is a legendary sea creature that has captured the imagination of fans and non-fans alike.

“As the official airline of the Seattle Kraken, we’re thrilled to reveal a new design to celebrate our hometown’s NHL team. Whether at 30,000 feet or on the ice, we’ll be cheering the Kraken on this season,” said Eric Edge, Alaska’s managing director of marketing and advertising, in a news release.

The Kraken livery is the latest addition to Alaska’s collection of themed aircraft, which includes airplanes featuring designs inspired by the Seattle Seahawks and the Alaska Salmon among others.

Delta Looks to Shake Off Pandemic-Era Slump in Regional Flying

Delta plans to restore all of its regional flying to pre-pandemic levels by next summer, the airline said during an earnings call on Thursday.

Delta plans to restore all of its regional flying to pre-pandemic levels by next summer, the airline said on Thursday. Airlines have struggled to return full capacity to their regional networks due to the pilot shortage.

In mid-2022, around 500 regional aircraft sat in storage facilities as carriers worked to rebalance their supply of pilots. Now, that number has dwindled to 167, per Cirium Fleet Analyzer data.

As of October, the airline still has 18 Delta Connection-branded regional aircraft in storage, many of which belong to its wholly owned subsidiary Endeavor Air.

“We’re going to continue to get utilization out of the fleet and better utilization out of the regional aircraft; [we] will be, by next summer, 100% restored on those,” said Delta finance chief Dan Janki during the airline’s Q3 2024 earnings call.

Most major U.S. carriers — including Delta — have halted or substantially reduced pilot hiring this year, giving regional airlines more breathing room to better align captain and first officer ratios.

SkyWest, which is the world’s largest regional carrier, said last quarter that it continues to see improvements in pilot hiring and retention trends. This opens the door for more jets to return to service.

Normalized Hiring

Delta believes the industry will generate approximately 5,000 new pilot jobs next year, which is in line with 2019 figures. The airline expects to see a “more normalized” pilot hiring tempo across the board.

“The dearth of capacity in terms of pilots available for regionals is dissipating very quickly,” added Delta President Glen Hauenstein during the call. “And so, in the beginning, we probably had only 35% to 40% of our capacity available. Most recently, this past year, it’s been more like 65% to 70%. And by next summer, we think that will be back to 100% of the capacity that we had available in 2019.”

Mystery Airbus Order Allegedly Placed by Air India

Air India has reportedly been identified as the airline behind a significant order for 85 Airbus jets, including 75 A320neo and 10 A350 aircraft.

According to Bloomberg, Air India, India’s national carrier, has reportedly placed an order for 85 Airbus aircraft. The multi-billion dollar deal is believed to be part of the airline’s broader strategy to enhance its presence on both domestic and international routes.

The massive order, which was initially placed anonymously, raised eyebrows within the aviation industry. Neither Airbus nor the unnamed airline had provided details when the order was first disclosed, but recent revelations suggest that the order was made by Air India as part of its aggressive strategy to modernize its fleet.

Fleet Expansion and Market Competition

Air India’s order includes 75 Airbus A320neo jets and 10 long-haul A350 aircraft. This combination is designed to enhance the airline’s domestic and international operations, supporting its efforts to modernize its fleet and compete more effectively in the global aviation market.

Air India’s fleet expansion comes at a crucial time as competition in India’s aviation sector intensifies. Low-cost airlines like IndiGo and SpiceJet dominate domestic travel, while full-service airlines, including Vistara (also owned by Tata Sons), present challenges for Air India.

Though neither Air India nor Airbus have confirmed details of the order, industry insiders believe an official announcement could be made soon, particularly as Air India is expected to reveal its updated fleet strategy. This deal will likely complement additional orders the airline is reportedly negotiating with other manufacturers, including Boeing to further diversify its fleet.
