Booking flights at the right time can save you thousands of rupees. In this guide, we explain the best time to book flights from India using real pricing trends — and how Fare Glider removes guesswork from booking decisions.

Why Timing Matters in Flight Booking

Flight prices change constantly due to demand, seat availability, seasonality, and airline pricing algorithms. Booking too early or too late often results in higher fares.
