A hostel guy in Lisbon asked why I book flights 6 months out, and I had no good answer
I always thought booking early got me the best price, but he pulled up fares on his phone and showed me Tuesdays 2 or 3 weeks out were often $80 cheaper to the same cities. Now I book closer in and use the savings on a hostel with actual eggs at breakfast. Anyone else had luck waiting instead of locking in early?
