Smart booking windows and Kiwi tools to use

For European city breaks, shoulder seasons in spring and autumn often see softer prices than school holidays, with good weather for sightseeing. A common planning window is roughly 4 to 6 weeks before departure for short haul and a bit earlier for peak periods like July and August, but this varies by route and carrier and is always subject to change. For hot summer spots and limited seasonal services, booking further ahead generally secures more choice.

Set a Price Alert on the routes you are watching and let Kiwi.com track changes for you. You will get notified when fares move, so you can book when the price fits your budget. #### Nomad and flexible tools If you are building a multi city itinerary, the Nomad Search Tool can arrange three or more stops in the cheapest possible order, and flexible travelers can search broad date ranges to uncover cheaper days for travel.
