The cheapest time to fly is usually April-May and September-October, outside the US summer and December-January peaks.
Fares peak in December-January and June-August, so April-May and October are good-value picks for warm, sunny days.
Book 4-6 months ahead for the best fares, and earlier for December-January. Prices generally rise closer to departure.
