This the best time of the day to book the cheapest flights

Saving up for a holiday is a goal for many Australians. In fact, ASIC’s Money Smart website reports that 53 per cent of Australians are currently saving their hard-earned pennies towards a holiday.

Whether you’re planning a European summer or a tropical escape to Thailand, every dollar counts when it comes to making the most of your jaunt overseas, and one online travel site has done to legwork for you to discover the best time to book flights.

Travel hacker search website KAYAK has discovered that the best time of the day to grab the cheapest flights in 2019 is the eye-watering hour of 3am.

The website also discovered that Departing on a Monday and returning on a Thursday for international flights could save you up to 48 per cent on your travel costs.

Contiki also reports that Bali still tops the list of most popular travel destinations for Australians, and data suggests that the cheapest month to travel to the Indonesian country is November.

For travellers who like to live life on the edge and books flights last minute, flights to Bangkok in Thailand are cheaper when booked closer to the travel date.
