    Holiday Travel Premium This Year

    Filed under: Airfares, Airlines, Geek Data — Rick Seaney @ 12:42 pm

    Our new “Best Time to Buy” technology — in testing in our labs now — shows the steep jump in airline ticket prices for holiday travel this year.

    For those math wizards out there “between 50 cities” turns out to be around 1200 city pairs (markets) where we average the cheapest departing roundtrip price for each week:

    • 50 times 50 = 2500
    • City pairs have the same price both directions (divide by 2) = 1250
    • Can’t buy an airline ticket from a city to itself (subtract 50) = 1200
