What is the cheapest day to fly?
With the right attitude and flexibility, you can fly for less. Below are the cheapest days to fly:
- Tuesday and Wednesday—You know how most stores are not crowded midweek? Same thing here. Most people opt to depart at the beginning or end of the week.

Why are flights cheaper if you stay over the weekend?
If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to HOU can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less flexible schedules, so that means more savings for you. We are all for that!
What are shoulder seasons?
Off-peak and shoulder seasons are when most vacationers aren't going to certain locations. So when it's chilly, most people head off to warmer climates like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like our feathered friends. But during the summer, you'll find that Europe is where it's at. You may not get the ideal weather, but you'll generally get better prices and avoid the mobs of tourist.
