As savvy travelers know, the beginning of fall brings more than just cooler weather and colorful foliage—it also means more cheap flights.

The autumn travel window is called shoulder season, a time between peak vacation months when prices start to dip for plane tickets and other bookings. “This means travelers who plan anything from a weekend getaway to a bucket list vacation will enjoy significantly lower prices in September [and] October compared to peak summer months,” says Hayley Berg, lead economist at Hopper, a discount travel booking site.

This year, domestic airfares have dropped by and average of 30 percent compared to peak summer prices, while international flights are 31 percent cheaper, according to Hopper’s study on airline ticket prices this fall.

There are plenty of deals right now, but you shouldn’t wait too long if you want to lock in the best price for cheap flights. “If you’re planning a fall getaway, we recommend booking ASAP,” Berg says. Here are nine destinations that have seen the biggest drops in airfare this fall, according to Hopper’s data.
