Data shows top cities where consumers can find the best deals starting on August 23rd
Beginning August 23rd, the date known as “National Cheap Flight Day,” airfare will begin to decrease due to the transition into off-peak travel season. Data and trends examined by flight-focused online travel agency, CheapOair, shows that average prices for popular travel destinations will decrease approximately 30% for international travel, and 14% for domestic travel, as we head into the off-peak season*.
Among the top international destinations, Spain is seeing the largest percentage decreases. Madrid yields potential savings of over $250, and Barcelona will see savings of over $200. Asia is also expected to see massive decreases in airfares, with cities like Manila, Philippines showing prices decreasing by well over 32%, with a potential savings of over $300.

“As summer quickly comes to a close, so does the busiest time of the year for travel. Kids are back to school, the weather starts to cool down and people are gearing up for the holidays. As the demand for airfare decreases, so do the fares,” says Sanjay Hathiramani, Global SVP of Supplier Relations for CheapOair.
“Cheap Flight Day isn’t just one day of deals – it’s the start of the off peak season. Fares are going to continue to stay low until Thanksgiving. Especially for those looking for deals to international destinations, the time to book your tickets are during this window, beginning at the end of August,” added Hathiramani.
