When's The Cheapest Time To Fly?
Book in September for $140 average fares, avoiding January’s $180 peak. Avoid hurricane season (June-October) when prices spike 30% due to cancellations. Flights from Miami (MIA) drop to $95 in April, but you’ll pay $25 more for seat selection. Always book 3-6 weeks out: last-minute flights from Toronto (YYZ) cost $220 vs. $150 when booked ahead.
What Fees Will Surprise You?
Bahamasair charges $45 for the first checked bag—listed as "free" on their site but enforced at the airport. In 2023, 17% of travelers paid this fee unexpectedly. Also, Wizz Air (W6) adds a €34 booking fee for flights routed through London (LHR), making a €220 flight cost €254 total. Watch out for "flexible" fares that require $75 change fees. Never assume baggage is free: JetBlue’s carry-on allowance is 22x14x9 inches, but exceeding this costs $25.
