Already now, many people are faced with the question: where (to which country or city) can they fly to celebrate the New Year as cheap and comfortable as possible. The convenient service aviasales.ru is an ideal assistant for those who are going to fly to celebrate to another city or country: it will help you choose budget airplane tickets, open a detailed “low price map”, route schemes around the world.
By examining flight data from previous years, the service studied the dynamics of price increases and decreases and reflected the interdependence of air routes, ticket booking dates and their cost. The conclusion is clear: the earlier you book your tickets, the cheaper they will cost. It all depends on the popularity of routes and the demand for them - for some directions, prices quickly "jump", for others - they change imperceptibly.
Cheapest New Year's Air Routes 2018
If you really want to celebrate the coming of the new year away from home, but the financial possibilities are rather modest, you should choose inexpensive routes. For example, air travel within Russia will be inexpensive. Even in December, you can buy cheap air tickets to Moscow, Sochi, St. Petersburg. As statistics show, the price of tickets to these cities before the New Year (average) is decreasing:
- to St. Petersburg - by 13%
- to Moscow - by 11%
- Mineral Water Resources - by 6%
- Sochi - by 4%
To Kaliningrad, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Simferopol, Vladivostok, on the contrary, in December air tickets rise in price from 1 to 27% compared to September. If you plan to fly to these cities for the New Year, buy tickets in September. It will be relatively inexpensive to fly to the capitals of the Near Abroad: Yerevan, Minsk, Baku, Tbilisi (the price of a ticket from Moscow is from 10562 rubles to 14391 rubles), if you book an air ticket in September. As for European countries, relatively cheap air tickets to Hungary, Cyprus, Austria, Germany, Turkey, Greece, the Czech Republic (from Moscow from 13,900 to 20,000 rubles) are also subject to early booking.
When to buy cheap air tickets for the New Year 2018
As statistics show, the peak of New Year's flights falls on the last days of December and the first week of January (from 30.12 to 08.01), when the cost of air tickets increases significantly. To save as much as possible, you need to choose a route in advance (3-4 months before the trip) and purchase tickets with savings of 15-20 thousand rubles. The optimal time for booking tickets is summer-September (see price comparison above). However, air tickets in September are already more expensive than in previous months. According to aviasales.ru, the average ticket price from September to December increases by 30-40%, and for some destinations - by 1.5-2 times. The further the country is, the more popular it is with tourists (Thailand, Vietnam), the earlier it is worth taking care of buying tickets. But even to relatively close European countries, an air ticket purchased in 2 weeks will also cost much more than purchased in 3 months. In a word, early booking of air tickets is the key to successful cost savings.

The largest service One Two Trip (2011) is in great demand among tourists. Over the past 2 years, this Internet resource has taken a place in the top thirty of its kind. Every month, 100,000 flight tickets are booked on One Two Trip. The company operates in the markets of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia and plans to expand in Europe in the near future. However, judging by the reviews, everything does not always go smoothly with the booking.
Are discounts possible for the New Year
There are special offers and promotions in almost all online airline ticket companies, which aviasales.ru also informs about, but their probability for New Year's flights is very low, except for those mentioned above. Companies offer discounts and price cuts during regular periods to stimulate consumer demand with the goal of 100 percent aircraft occupancy. For example, on September 24 in the Pobeda company a flight from Moscow to Munich costs 2070 rubles instead of 5639 rubles (saving 3569 rubles). On New Year's Eve, airliners, as a rule, leave with a full set of passengers, so there is no need for additional discounts and promotions. Advance purchase for New Year flights remains a priority. If we analyze the reviews of tourists, we can see that those who purchased tickets in 5-6 months (and sometimes in 10 months), turned out to be a big winner.
For example, air tickets to Singapore, bought in February for a trip there for the New Year 2018, cost 36 thousand rubles each, and in September the price of 1 ticket for this direction was 120 thousand rubles (from reviews).
Changes in the cost of air tickets on the eve of the New Year, the online search system for cheap air tickets Aviaslace, analyzing the ratio of changes in ticket prices and flight dates, shows that the cost of most destinations increases before the New Year, with the exception of those that were mentioned (see above).

Changes in prices for air travel to Asia and the USA
If you are planning to celebrate the New Year on the white sands off the azure coasts of India, Thailand, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, you should take care of buying air tickets as early as possible, because the flow of those wishing to travel to the holiday from the cold December to the summer heat increases significantly. Accordingly, the cost of the coveted "hot" destinations in December also increases. For example, an air ticket to the heavenly places of Goa (compared to September) will cost 21% more.
- to exotic Bangkok - 35%
- to romantic Bali - by 51%
- to friendly Ho Chi Minh City - by 61%
- to the blessed Phuket - by 67%
- to gorgeous New York - 65%

To have a great New Year's day and not incur large financial costs, buy tickets for these directions at least in September-October, otherwise in December you will pay almost 2 times more.
What if the decision to fly somewhere on New Year's Eve arose impromptu
In our life, not everything can be planned in advance and put “on the shelves”. So it is with the planning of trips: it seems that they were not going to go anywhere, let alone fly, and then suddenly "luck smiled" - there were financial surpluses that were not a pity to spend on vacation. But here, too, I would like to save some money. How to be:
- Study the destinations carefully and choose the cheapest, shorter flights, the cost of which does not increase so much. An analysis of last year's prices shows that in December you can buy not very expensive flights to Budapest, Milan, Munich, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Riga and other cities.
- Vary your departure dates by viewing the schedules for the entire December. Of course, everyone wants to fly away in the last days of the old year, and return in the first days of the new one, so flights on these dates are more expensive. You can move the travel days by 3-4 days (after all, the holidays last more than a week), and find the best option for a trip without going off-scale flight prices. Aviaslace and GuruTurizma service wishes you wonderful holidays!
