The Olympics start at the end of the month, the kick-off ceremony is on July 27th, and the games run through August 12th. We did a quick scan of airfare, and surprisingly, it's still reasonable given it's summer and everyone is booking flights to London for the Olympics. If you're a bit flexible, flying in or out on Tuesdays for example, good deals can be had. Also, remember, there are plenty of secondary airports you can fly into like Paris, Manchester, or Amsterdam, and then you hop a low-cost airline or train to London. Here are some of the flights we found:

blog@mobissimo.com (Mobissimo) — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 15:15:46 -0700

NY Times has a good article providing an overview on best practices when booking tickets. It also discusses whether booking in advance does indeed save you money. The quick answer, is yes. Not only does booking in advance save you money, but the lead time has been getting longer, at least compared to last year. Some examples:

Europe in Summer: LAST YEARS SWEET SPOT: 21 TO 22 WEEKS IN ADVANCE
Caribbean in Winter: LAST YEARS SWEET SPOT: 11 OR 12 WEEKS
Business or First Class to Asia or Europe: LAST YEARS SWEET SPOT: 23 TO 24 WEEKS

Forget What You Know About Holiday Travel: Don't Book Early, Book Late

blog@mobissimo.com (Mobissimo) — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:01:12 -0800

According to Samantha Bomkcamp, who in addition to having an awesome last name did some fare analysis that counter-intuitively found if you book your holiday travel later this year, rather than earlier, you may actually save money.

The cheapest fares for Thanksgiving and Christmas aren't going to the travelers who booked months in advance. Experts say they'll go to those who can take advantage of some last-minute deals. In previous years, the rule was nearly always the same: Travelers who booked earliest got the cheapest fares. Those who waited generally faced higher prices.
This year, though, things are different.
Yes, fares are up and flights are fuller, but those who've waited until the last minute to book Thanksgiving or Christmas travel can still find a deal if they know where and how to look.
In a year when airlines seem to have the upper hand, you may wonder why airfares on U.S. routes aren't creeping higher as the holidays inch closer. The reason is airlines may have jacked some prices up too high, too fast. When that happens, airlines run sales closer to flight dates to fill the remaining seats on the plane. Airlines also ran many last-minute sales during the recession when Americans dramatically pulled back on flying.

Good advice its appears, but also remember to read our Tips For Saving On Thanksgiving for other tips that may help you save money.
