    Travel experts reveal the best times to book a cheap May bank holiday trip | Travel News | Travel

    With Maybank Holiday weekend approaching, families across the UK want to ensure last-minute trips that don't break the banks. Many people assume it's too late to get an affordable travel deal, but that's not the case.

    Tickets experts at AttractionTickets.com analyzed price data and industry travel trends to reveal the exact date and time that Brits should book a last-minute escape at the final price. According to CEO Oliver Brendon, the key to finding affordable fares in this later stage is to book strategically. “It's a common misconception that bookings before always guarantees the best price,” Brendon said. “The reality is that airlines regularly adjust fares based on demand, and travelers familiar with the week before departure can benefit from these fluctuations. This means they still have time to save on bank holidays this May, especially if they know when to book.”

    According to ticket experts, the best days to book your May bank holiday are Sunday, May 18th or Sunday, May 25th. The best time to book is around 6am. Set an alarm to get the best deal possible.

    They also recommend avoiding bookings on Fridays. Prices tend to skyrocket on Friday due to increased demand and business trips.

    “Alongside industry travel reports, an analysis of historical pricing patterns shows that Sunday remains the most cost-effective day to book,” Brendon added.

    “Airlines usually release discounted rates over the weekend and adjust their inventory. From travel data, you can see that booking on a Sunday saves travelers up to 23% compared to booking on a Friday.

    “We also saw a consistent trend that early mornings are the best time to snap low fares, and flights booked around 6am tend to be significantly cheaper than flights booked later that day.

    “If you're still looking to book a bank holiday trip, we recommend you go online if you feel particularly dangerous on Sunday, May 18th, or Sunday, May 25th. These dates fall a week before the long weekend, and give families plenty of time to prepare while taking advantage of the best pricing.”

    AttractionTickets.com focused on last-minute booking trends, based on expert insights and data-driven research from travel and ticketing platforms.

    Experts have incorporated travel insights from Expedia's 2024 Air Travel Hacking Report and Jet Cost Fare Analysis. These insights were used along with internal analysis to determine the optimal booking date. The proposed dates are estimates based on expertise and data.

    AttractionTickets.com is Europe's largest theme park specialist, selling over 1 million tickets and 100,000 on-site hotel rooms each year.
