With Thanksgiving just around the corner, a lot of people are considering their travel plans. While as many as 109 million Americans will travel for Thanksgiving, only around 10.5 percent or about 11.5 million people will fly for the holiday.

Booking data shows that most travelers purchase their tickets anywhere from one to two months in advance of the holiday. For those travelers, pricing on the tickets remains more or less consistent with the pricing they see for flights during the rest of the year.

Of course, this year there is a lot of discussion about a looming recession and potential layoffs in the not-so-distant future. That makes a lot of travelers a little gun-shy about buying anything in advance or at full price.

There is some good news on that front for travelers who prefer saving a little on their Thanksgiving flight. Starting about 25 days out from Thanksgiving, the prices drop by an average of about $40.

Travelers with good risk tolerance can save an average of around $70 by waiting to book their tickets until a week or two in advance. It is a riskier move because airlines may run out of available seats if someone waits too long.

Traveling the Monday before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving day itself will typically offer the best pricing.

Domestic travelers can expect prices for round-trip tickets to run at approximately $350. International travelers, on the other hand, should brace for tickets to cost around $800 for round-trip flights.
