Researchers say that while there's no way to guarantee you're getting the best price available, being flexible with travel dates can help.

For Thanksgiving, AAA recommends flying on Monday, November 25th or on Thanksgiving Day. For Christmas, flights on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are traditionally the cheapest.
