When to buy plane tickets

Many people wonder when is the best time to buy plane tickets? Well according to Cheap Air dot com, the best time to buy domestic airplane tickets in 2015 was 54 days in advance. 
Ticket prices fluctuate so it's hard for fliers to always get the lowest fares, but if you book during the prime booking window, which is about 3.5 months to three weeks in advance, you're likely to catch the best price.
People who did get a low price airfare, on average, saved $345 compared to someone who bought at peak time.
All the rules go out the window when it comes to traveling during major holidays. When booking flights for Thanksgiving and Christmas, earlier is always better. The same goes with popular destinations during spring break and summer.
The single biggest factor that determines the prices for a flight is how full it is. The fuller the flight, the more expensive remaining seats will be. But like so many things in life IF you can PLAN ahead it can save you money. Planning is the key!
