When is the best time to fly to Indianapolis?
Winters are cold, particularly January, and the city gets a few significant snowfalls each year. Summers are warm but can be very humid. Late spring (April and May) and autumn (September, October into November) are the best times weather-wise to book flights to Indianapolis.
Peak Season:
Peak season in Indianapolis depends on your travel interests. If you're flying to Indianapolis for sports-centric entertainment, weather isn't as big of a concern as getting tickets to the game. If your Indianapolis travel plans happen over Indy 500 weekend, book your flight to Indianapolis and accommodation in advance. This 500-Mile race is a high energy automobile race that is held annually on the last weekend in May. This is undoubtedly the busiest time in the city and hotels fill up fast.
Off Season:
June, July and August are hot and humid, but if you can handle the heat you're bound to find plenty of cheap flights to Indianapolis and discounted hotel rates. Keep in mind the city can still be busy during this time because of school holidays and family trips.
