The cheapest time to fly is usually January-March and November, outside Easter and the summer peak.
Fares peak around Easter, in June-August and over Christmas and New Year, so late September is a good-value pick as the summer heat eases.
Book 3-6 months ahead for the best fares, and earlier for Easter, summer and the holidays. Prices generally rise closer to departure.
