    It is better to order and buy air tickets early. Juli is in high season, many flights are fully booked, and it will then be very difficult to find a place for 6 people. My advice, buy now.

    I don't know if there is a best time to buy July 5th airline tickets for 6 people. That is too specific a date in the middle of holidays and booking too many seats.

    But now is too early. Buy now and you are paying for piece of mind that you have it all booked and settled. Start looking about 2 months before. And not much later, again because you need six seats.

    Get over it that there is not an absolutely guaranteed lowest price ever day. fares can go up and sometimes down.

    You are travelling on a FRIDAY in peak travel season DO NOT expect MOST fares to drop in price.

    BUY when you find the flight you want.

    WARNING MOST bargain fares do not allow changes or refunds if you change your mind.

    The tickets can sell out.

    If you are not really sure you can travel that day suggest you investigate travel insurance to cover a missed flight.

    People can book flights about one year ahead many of the cheapest seats have already been purchased.

    Expect ticket prices to begin to rise for most flights after Spring break.

    If you want sign up for fare alerts on the many search sites. Be prepared to respond fast to any deals that might happen.

    Of course you have actually searched out many ways to get from A to B and not just the FASTEST direct routes. The big search sites look for the fastest connections not every possible way that a 100,000 daily flights might have a cheaper way if you are willing to take longer route trading your time for $$ waiting an extra hour or two for a connection

    As most peoples final destination is no the far away Airport terminal suggest you also look into the prices to get to your far away place that you intend to sleep at. Bus schedules, train schedules and fares can change for summer season.

    Airfare for the SEAT is part of price also check if there are other fees like a luggage fee.to be added on to bargain fare.

    School is out millions of others are also going places.

    BUY SOON.when you are confident you can go. Hint your holiday from work has been approved.

    Buy now.

    Summer is a peak season with high airfares in the whole world (read: whatever your destination is). July 2019 airfares won't go down.

    Furthermore, July 5 is a Friday, a day with airfares typically higher than those of other days. So Don't delay booking.

    There is no perfect answer to this. The general recommendation is 6-10 weeks before travel. However, if you're traveling at a busy time, then you should book even earlier.

    Summer tends to be a busy travel time, so if you're traveling to a popular vacation destination, then I'd plan to book your tickets by March.

    There is no guarantee that you'll get the best deal. Airfare fluctuation tends to be unpredictable.

    Typically about 2 months from your travel dates. You'll never hit it perfect though.

    If you use Kayak.com, they have a indicator of whether, based on historical trends, the price is expected to go up or down from where it is today.

    July is a very busy time of year to travel, so tickets could cost more. You definitely want to purchase them by the end of March. If a fair price is available you want to make sure you buy them immediately.
