British tourists might want to avoid booking a flight on July 22, 23 or 29 as these are the most expensive days for travel according to Expedia’s research.

If you’re looking to book a domestic flight, July 28, August 19 and August 23 have the best prices so far.

June 30, July 8 and July 16 are the most expensive days to book a domestic flight this summer.

Domestic flights are generally cheapest on a Wednesday with prices 20 percent lower than at the weekend.
