00:00If you're like most people, you probably try to find the cheapest flights when you travel.
00:03Well, Google Flights may have just made that easier with a new feature.
00:07Google is known for analyzing flight trends,
00:09and it has been offering travelers some metrics on that for a while.
00:12The service has long told you how a particular flight cost fared against historical averages,
00:17telling you if you're getting a good deal or not.
00:19However, now they'll start telling you more,
00:21explicitly giving you details on when is the best time to buy for whatever destination you're headed to.
00:26Google told Travel & Leisure that if you're looking to book flights for known heavy travel seasons,
00:30like the holidays, earlier is generally better.
00:32Though they add that if your plans aren't flexible, quote,
00:35flight prices do change frequently,
00:37and there are often low fares to be found with the right tools and some perseverance.
00:41Travel & Leisure reported that a cursory search for a flight from New York to London for Christmas
00:45revealed that you'll get the best price if you book between now and October 7th.
00:49But if you're looking to book that route at a different time of year,
00:52the best time is between three and six months ahead.
00:56And that's it for this video.
00:57I hope you enjoyed it.
