They drew on insights and data-driven research from travel and ticketing platforms, with a focus on last-minute booking trends to determine the dates.

Data from Expedia's 2024 Air Travel Hacks Report highlights that booking flights on Sundays can save travellers up to 24%, which allowed the experts to narrow down the best booking dates ahead of February half-term and Easter 2025.

Oliver Brendon, CEO of AttractionTickets.com, said: "Contrary to what many travellers believe, industry data suggests that booking flights within a window of 8 to 23 days before departure can offer some of the most competitive prices for international travel, especially when it comes to places like Florida.

"We also know through historical external data that travellers can sometimes save up to 24% on flights if they book them on a Sunday, particularly within this 8 to 23-day window.

"Given this timeline, the 9th and 16th of February fall perfectly within that range, making these the optimal dates to secure those last-minute more affordable family holiday bookings ahead of this half-term."

Not only this but for those who are already looking ahead to Easter, the ticketing experts have delved into the data to discover the best times to book a last-minute Easter holiday flight.

Mr Brendon said: "Following the same 8 - 23-days prior to travel formula, and honing in on the Sunday bookings, we can already identify that the best dates to book a last-minute Easter holiday are the 16th and 23rd of March, considering that most school Easter holidays start around the 7th of April.

"In my experience, prices for Easter tend to rise sharply in the two weeks before, so you can avoid this by making sure you book ahead of 25th March."

He added: "Remember, it's a risk to book things last-minute, so opt for using ticketing sites with fixed pricing models like ours and always do your research to get the best deals."
