  • Black Friday deals: 10 bargains to book your next vacation for less

The year comes to an end. There are many who take stock of the trips made during 2019 and prepare a list of the destinations to visit during the next. And if it is for half the price, even better: 41% of Spaniards (according to the International Travel * study) give priority to travel when spending money. Likewise, 51% of travelers in our country save money specifically for their vacations.

Metasearch engines such as Kayak.es have analyzed millions of searches in order to establish the best time to fly and book hotels in the most popular destinations. With this in mind, Spaniards can save up to 56% on flights and 49% on hotels in Europe. And up to 42% on flights and 69% on hotels in intercontinental destinations.

THE ANTELATION, PRIMARY

Traveling in Europe has become relatively easy over the years. Spain has multiple connections with the countries of our environment, and to fly to destinations such as Berlin or Vienna we will only have to make the reservation a month and a half before to achieve the best price (up to 77% savings in the case of the capital German and 68% when it comes to the Austrian).

For London (-80%), Paris (-47%) or Brussels (-74%), however, we will need at least two months in advance. And if the destinations we want to fly to are Rome, Amsterdam or Milan, at Kayak.es they recommend making reservations around three months before the dates chosen to fly.

GANGAS TO FLY TO MARRAKECH, TOKYO OR LOS ANGELES

The decision to fly to distant places is usually more complicated, since as a rule you have to invest more money and, of course, more time. Although there are exceptions, such as Mexico City , where it is enough to make a reservation one month in advance to obtain the best price (up to 62% savings) with respect to the most expensive time of the year.

For its part, it is recommended to wait between two and three months to fly to other American destinations such as Los Angeles (-25%), New York (-20%) and Buenos Aires (7%); same as for traveling to Marrakech (-49%), Tokyo (-35%) or Bangkok (-35%). For its part, to find the best price for flights to Miami or Lima, it would be necessary to have a four month forecast.

Tuesday, the best day to fly

This analysis also reflects that it is important to take into account the day on which you fly: Tuesdays (and to a lesser extent Wednesdays and Saturdays ) are the least popular for traveling and therefore the cheapest. Friday and Sunday are located on the other side of the spectrum and it is difficult to find cheap tickets these days, regardless of destination.

As an example, flying on a Tuesday can mean up to 50% savings on tickets to Berlin , 49% to Marrakech, 45% less if we fly to London or 21% if our preference is Rome .

Once the flight reservations have been made, the logical step is usually to look for accommodation in the destination city. Thus, booking in three and four star hotels about four months in advance in the main European capitals can save 49% . In the case of intercontinental destinations such as Malé, Tangier or San Francisco , it will be 69%.

Vienna, Santiago and Tel Aviv, the most popular

While some destinations remain on the list of the most popular places year after year, others are released among those preferred by travelers. This is the case of the Austrian capital, which is now among the fashion destinations among Spaniards and whose searches have increased 103% in our country in 2019.

Vienna is followed by Santiago (Chile), with a search increase of almost 76% and for which it would be necessary to book four months in advance to save 46% on the ticket; and Tel Aviv (Israel), with an average of three months to achieve savings of 45%.

* The International Travel Study aims to show the habits of travelers around the world. In 2019, 23,400 people from 22 countries were surveyed. In Spain, 1,050 people aged 18 to 65 have been surveyed, between January 3 and 10, 2019, through the Cint panels.
