If you want to profitably buy tickets for the New Year and really take a break from work and daily routine, then you should think about vacations in advance.
New Year is invariably associated with massive price increases. Therefore, postponing travel planning until December, you run the risk of overpaying for vouchers and tickets or staying at home due to the lack of budget options.
It is believed that the cheapest New Year tickets to top destinations can be caught in September. However, not everyone begins to prepare in advance for a winter vacation, having just taken a summer vacation. And this is logical, because almost all the money has been spent. Not all directions are 2-3 times more expensive. So, tickets to some European countries (Vienna, Munich, Berlin) before Christmas are getting cheaper to the level of September prices.
The highest tariffs can be expected a month and two weeks before the New Year. The reason to think about New Year's holidays in September is justified by the fact that the money saved may be enough for one more flight.
Do not rely on last minute deals, discounts and promotions for Christmas, as the demand for tickets and tours is increasing. However, even at the last moment, you can get a little benefit by choosing destinations such as Budapest, Prague or Barcelona. After all, tickets for the New Year in these cities increase by no more than 50%, in contrast to Milan and Paris.
It will also be possible to reduce the travel budget by shifting the flight dates by several days. Departure on December 28 may be several thousand rubles cheaper than on December 30 or 31.
