Kayak has a new tool that will help you find the cheapest time to travel so you can save enough money to justify splurging on an upgraded seat or an UberBlack instead of an X. 

Kayak’s latest innovation, fittingly named the Best Time to Travel Tool, takes the guessing game out of trip planning. Travelers can input their desired destination, departure location, and preferred travel duration, and the tool will reveal the optimal time to book your trip. With 280,000+ routes at your disposal, it’s the ideal chance to explore your travel fantasies and choose your adventure, even if you’re not settled on one

Matt Clarke, Kayak’s VP of North America Marketing shared in a statement, “By adding data points like projected crowds and weather forecasts into the trip planning process, travelers can make more informed decisions about where to go and when while also anticipating the associated costs.”

Now if only this tool could also find out whether or not our plane will have blankets and pillows onboard so I don’t have to lug my entire bed set onboard.
