The cheapest flights (and cheapest days) to book in 2026

Skyscanner Unveils Cheapest Destinations to Book in 2026, Wednesday Steals the Show

With travel on the horizon for many, Skyscanner has released its latest data on the cheapest destinations to book for next year. The UK-based travel site analyzed millions of flight searches and pinpointed the top 10 affordable spots, offering travelers a chance to snag unbeatable round-trip economy fares.

According to Skyscanner's findings, Las Vegas takes the crown as the cheapest destination in 2026 at an average cost of $232 for a round-trip economy ticket. Coming close behind are San Salvador, El Salvador ($282), Miami ($284), and Kahului, Hawaii ($329).

Interestingly, it appears that flying on Wednesdays is the key to saving. While many might argue Tuesday as the cheapest day, Skyscanner's data suggests otherwise.

If you're looking for a tropical getaway with less crowds than usual, Maui's legendary 64-mile road from Kahului to Hana presents an excellent opportunity to explore its stunning landscapes and roadside attractions.

Skyscanner's "Cheapest Destination Planner" service has been launched this year, allowing users to search month by month for bargain flights. With the data now out, travelers can start planning their next adventure, knowing that affordable options are just around the corner.

The complete list of cheapest destinations to book in 2026 is:

1. Las Vegas: $232
2. San Salvador, El Salvador: $282
3. Miami: $284
4. Kahului, Hawaii: $329

omg i completely agree about flying on wednesdays being the way to go!! ๐Ÿ˜‚ i've always wondered why tuesday is so cheap but apparently it's not ๐Ÿค”. and omg las vegas for 232 is insane! ๐Ÿ’ธ i'm totally booking a vegas trip in 2026 now... or at least looking into it ๐Ÿš€
 
I'm so stoked to see that Las Vegas is the cheapest destination for next year ๐Ÿคฉ! I've been meaning to visit the Strip with friends and now it's more affordable than ever ๐ŸŽ‰. Flying on Wednesdays, huh? That makes sense, I guess. I always figured Tuesdays were better but yeah, maybe Skyscanner got it right this time ๐Ÿ˜‚. Maui sounds like a sick trip too! The road to Hana is supposed to be stunning... gotta add that to my bucket list ๐Ÿ“. Anyone else planning on booking any of these destinations? ๐Ÿ’ธ
 
๐Ÿš€ I think it's awesome that Skyscanner is sharing their data on the cheapest destinations for 2026! ๐Ÿค” Las Vegas taking the crown as the cheapest destination at $232 is no surprise, but it's still great news for budget travelers. ๐Ÿ˜Š Did you know that flying on Wednesdays can be a game-changer? ๐Ÿ‘ Skyscanner's "Cheapest Destination Planner" service is so helpful to plan ahead and snag those unbeatable round-trip economy fares. ๐Ÿ“… I'm intrigued by the idea of visiting Maui's 64-mile road from Kahului to Hana for a more laid-back tropical getaway. ๐ŸŒด If you're looking for other affordable options, San Salvador and Miami are definitely worth considering. ๐Ÿ’ธ Maybe it's time to start planning that next adventure? ๐Ÿ˜„
 
๐Ÿค” I'm not entirely convinced about Las Vegas being the cheapest destination for 2026... I mean, have you checked the flight prices from the UK? I think there's a better option out there. And what's with the "Cheapest Destination Planner" service being launched this year? How long did it take to analyze those millions of flight searches? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ It seems like Skyscanner is doing all the heavy lifting, but don't we want more transparency about their methodology? ๐Ÿ“Š Let's keep an eye on these prices and see how they change over time... โฐ
