Studies show that the best time to buy domestic fares is approx 60 days out. For high demands period (e.g., Thanksgiving or Christmas), there may be a benefit to buying farther out, although for beach destinations like Hawaii and Mexico, you may never see discount inventory for the highest demand periods.
