For many domestic routes, starting your search 4 to 6 weeks ahead often strikes a good balance between choice and price, though the best window varies by route and season. For peak dates and long weekends, expand that window. Set up a route and let Kiwi.com monitor it with Set a Price Alert so you can book when the fare moves in your favor, with alerts sent via email or push notification.
