There's no 'right time' to buy a flight, says Scott's Cheap Flights founder (via CNBCMakeIt)

"This was great advice in the late '90s, maybe early 2000s, but nowadays it's just no longer the reality," says Keyes. "Now algorithms are responding to demand and other factors that are constantly changing the price."

Keyes says that the "golden window" to book the least expensive flights for a domestic destination will be sold one to three months before departure, while travelers are likely to get the best international fares two to eight months before take off. He adds that there's no longer such a thing as a "last-minute deal," because airlines found a more lucrative sales plan. Now, prices tend to "sky rocket" during the last few weeks leading up to a flight.
