While economy flights can often cost you a pretty penny on average, you can now be able to secure one-way tickets at an exceptional value. Major aerial moves.
So, whether you’re planning a getaway to rid the post-Christmas blues, or a romantic escape with a loved one, this is the best time to secure flights while you’ve got the ample discount.
