However, tickets typically don’t come down in price closer to the departure date. If you wait around, flights could also be booked up or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you’d rather not hedge your bets, book well ahead of when you want to leave. Note that some of the biggest deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your favorite airline hasn’t released its fares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
