In fact, November is when you will get the largest savings at 5.99 percent on average. January came in second at 4.95 percent, followed by May at 4.50 percent.

The worst month to buy on-line was March where you could expect to save just 2.76 percent. Consumers and experts have been speculating for years about the best time to shop online.

Booking a flight has almost become a science with some claiming that buying six weeks before you travel guarantees you the best price. However a recent analysis by the US Airlines Reporting Commission found that was not actually the case.

Not only did the six week window fail to stack up, in some cases the best fares were on sale as long as 24 weeks before departure.

The ARC said that booking well in advance is best advised for busy routes or long haul flights, as the price only tends to go up.
