Memorial Day tips

Memorial Day is observed in the USA on last Monday of every May and in 2024 it will be on 27th of May. There is a lot of time, over four months to this day, so you will be wondering why we are writing about it now. We at FlightsChannel have been in the air tickets business for a long time and what we have learned is that the sooner you book your flights the greater are their chances of availability and their costs will be low too. The same applies to the Memorial Day flights, which if you book now will cost much less than if you book them later. The reason for this is simple, based on the principles of demand and supply. Now that the seats are available, the airlines will keep the rates low, though once most of these are filled, they will increase the air ticket prices as more people will be after them.
