NYE a good day to book the flight at the cheapest price?

Looking to book a flight to Delhi in the summer.

The price is pretty decent today. Will it likely be cheaper on NYE, as hardly anyone books flights on NYE.

Momondo stats aren't really helping.

    No-one will be able to tell you that. I'd say that if the price today is decent, go for it.

    Or to put it another way, if the price has gone up on NYE, will you be kicking yourself if you didn't book today?

    But if you do book today, try not look on NYE :)

    Contrary to popular opinion, few airlines have dynamic pricing, where the same seat class price varies day-on-day.

    Not everyone has new years on the same day so I'd think it unlikely.

    Also the poll and what I heard around and about most people are staying at home so will be scrolling in front of the terrible telly till they can say 'yay' and go to bed.

    The nearer the date the last few seats will increase in price only going down, if at all, a day or two before the flight.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well
