The city also welcomes many business travellers, government officials and university students, leading to additional demand at certain times of the year. If you’re travelling during school holidays or festive periods, booking several weeks or months in advance can help you find better fares and more convenient flight times. Travelling outside peak holiday periods often provides better value on domestic routes.
