and a slight room upgrade. Very nice. Now, I do like those offers you mentioned. One thing that's irritating about them, though, is with things like Amex offers, you have to manually add the offers to your card to get the discounts.

Yeah. So with domestic flights, NerdWallet recommends that you book one to three months in advance. So if we're talking about summer travel, let's say July, you're looking at booking in April.

For international flights, NerdWallet recommends booking two to eight months in advance. So if we're talking about a July trip internationally, May is really the latest that you should be booking to get any sort of good deal. Honestly, though, you could have started booking as early as last November. That would have not been a bad idea to start getting those good deals.

Me too. So the exception to this rule is holiday weekends. I'm talking about things this summer like Memorial Day and Fourth of July. Memorial Day is always one of the busiest times to fly. Most people will take off on the Friday before Memorial Day, and then they'll extend their trip beyond Sunday and then go out on Monday.

Because of this, we typically say Sunday is the most expensive day to fly, but that's not really the case Memorial Day weekend because people sort of treat that Monday like the Sunday and they actually fly out the Monday.
