• Cheap flights for the Thanksgiving holiday are often posted on sites like Airfare Watchdog and Farecast. Travelers can also bid on cheap Thanksgiving flights on Priceline, or save money by comparing fares on SideStep or Hotwire.

  Fodor's recommends booking flights outside the "normal date range," like flying in on Thanksgiving and leaving on the Monday after.
