A recent study conducted by SmartAsset found that Oakland International Airport had the largest one-year increase in domestic airfare prices across the US, up 10%. In 2023, average domestic flight costs at OAK rose from $275.86 to $303.55 this year, while remaining cheaper than other Bay Area airports. San Francisco International Airport saw a 5% increase, averaging $444, while San Jose International experienced a 7.6% increase to an average of $330.
Google's latest analysis suggests travelers should book domestic flights between 21 and 52 days before takeoff. For Thanksgiving, booking is best 26 to 59 days out, meaning early October is optimal. For Christmas flights, the latter half of October around Halloween is ideal, with historical low fares occurring 58 days prior to departure. This strategic timing may help travelers secure better deals during the busy holiday season.
