Buy Flights for Boxing Day

Travelling on Boxing Day? Whether you're flying back home after Christmas, taking a late-winter holiday or flying out for New Year's, Boxing Day (26th December) is a great day to catch a flight.

Depending on where you live, 26th December might be a public holiday. For example, in countries where 26th December is officially called 'Boxing Day', such as the UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, the country has a public holiday where all schools and most businesses are closed. However, in other countries, including the US, 26th December isn't recognised as a public holiday and it's only given as a holiday in certain states.

This means that your flight and airport experience can be different depending on where you're travelling from. You can expect it to be busier in places where 26th December isn't a public holiday.
