Prices swing with season and demand. A few timing habits can help you catch a good fare without overthinking it.
Shoulder periods between peak winter aurora travel and summer holidays can be good hunting grounds for value, especially for midweek departures and early morning or late evening flights, subject to change. For short haul domestic and Nordic trips, a booking window around 4 to 6 weeks out often balances choice and price, while busy holiday periods usually reward earlier commitment.
