What this means
- The week you choose matters more than the day of the week. See which week is cheapest.
- Cheap weeks are in January, dear weeks around Christmas and in late March (Easter travel).
- If you can move your trip by one or two weeks, you can often cut the price by half or more.
Every route page shows this as a chart, for example Düsseldorf to Phuket.
Questions
