Quick answer

Weekend and holiday travel concentrates demand into narrow windows: Friday and Sunday afternoon flights fill first, and holiday periods sell out earlier than usual. Booking earlier than you would for off-peak trips, and keeping date flexibility of even one day, materially improves your options.
