FOR TOURISTS LOOKING to nab a bargain flight in the coming months, it pays to plan well ahead.
The optimum time to book an overseas journey from Ireland is seven week in advance, according to an analysis from flight comparison site Skyscanner.
After crunching three years of flight departures from the island, the Scotland-based travel search engine came up with the figure.
However the prime booking time also varied significantly depending on the destination. Those booking long-haul flights to popular places like Bangkok and New York were rewarded for planning up to five months in advance.
Unsurprisingly, there was also a wide variation in the savings to be had depending on holidaymakers’ times of travel.
Flights in November were 14% cheaper than the average rate, while bookings in the peak months of July and August commanded significant premiums compared to all other times of the year.

Not good at all! I look forward to the day when we start seeing these major corporations taking on people rather than letting them go.
Did you not hear the announcement from Intel about their expansion? Take note Journal.ie.
Just remember folks these are the same guys urging a yes vote, who ll cut jobs here and drop us in an instant just to save a few cent. NOT the type of people whose opinion should be trusted on sovereign affairs! Deeply sad news, let’s hope the loss of jobs here is small.
This is just to do with supply and demand, HP is going down as it has not diversified to meet the competition.. The saved money may be invested back into the company and hopefully improve it..
So would it be fair to say that supply and demand will remain the same regardless of whether we are on board this packed metaphorical train? If that’s the case, and as you point out below, Irelands democratic wish won’t make a blind bit of notice to FDI investment and retraction in Ireland? More spoof so from Yes side?
Well your right there about FDI whether we vote yes or no, no difference,
There “hiring” alright, 40+ hrs a week for unpaid “work experience”.
Jesus can we have one story were someone doesn’t bring up the stability treaty or government.
This is bad news. But am I crazy or did I recently read somewhere that HP were actually taking on staff ??
They seem to hire a lot of their engineers etc through a independent subsidiary called HP CDS this allows them to offer lower terms and less benefits as opposed to normal HP engineers.
Stability !!!! Yeah right.
This has nothing to do with the treaty.. If industry X goes bust it’s because of the market shifts
have your say
