i need to buy flights to go to cyprus for two weeks next june.

is it true or an old wives tale that buying flights are cheaper on new years day..?

Have you checked the prices yourself ?

its not new years day yet..

The tale may have something to do with the possibility that there is little booking activity and the yield management computer may not be rising prices. Happens at other times of the week though.

Or is this tale exclusive to Cyprus flights?

Think about it: Why would they be cheaper?

People are at home on New Years Day, the period between Christmas and New Year historically was the peak time to book holidays. Although that may not still be the case, I doubt fares will be lower on NYD than the day before or after. The BA sale should be in full swing on NYD so worth checking their fares before committing to a LCC

Try Christmas Day. No guarantee but I have seen travel companies place higher web discounts that day in years past.
