When to Book for Cheapest Flights
January is the cheapest month with average fares at $356 roundtrip, while July peaks at $719. Book 3–6 weeks before departure for best prices: Wizz Air’s January 2024 fares dropped 18% when booked 42 days out. Avoid booking on Fridays—flights cost 12% more on average than Tuesdays. Orlando Sanford (SFB) airport offers 15% cheaper flights than MCO but requires a 23.5-minute transfer to downtown ($15 taxi).
Warnings: What to Watch Out For
Wizz Air (W6) charged €34 for a single checked bag on OTP-MAD flights in April 2024, not included in base fare. Always confirm baggage allowance before booking—easyJet’s "free" carry-on only fits 16x10x6 inches, forcing $25 fees for standard luggage. I once paid $50 extra for a 15kg bag on Ryanair’s STN-MCO flight because I missed the online check-in deadline.
