Which days of the week are cheapest 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.
- Thursday and Saturday—Get a head start on that Friday crowd. This also works on your return flight. Shorten your holiday by a day and increase your savings.
- Monday through Thursday—If you're flying internationally, deals are often available when departing these days.
What's the Saturday night stay rule?
Spending the weekend at your destination, like Los Angeles, usually means a cheaper return ticket since most people fly during this time. Good thing to tell your boss if you have a business trip -- wink-wink.
Why travel during the off-peak season?
Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most people aren't going to certain locations. So when it's chilly, most people head to warmer climates like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like our feathered friends. But in the summer, you'll find that Europe is really popular. You can usually save on your flight when you fly when everyone else isn't.
Jump on that great rate
Airline carriers change their rates frequently. If you see the price you like, then book it. You're not the only vacation-hungry person waiting an awesome deal on a ticket from San Francisco to Los Angeles. You could miss your chance to get the carrier and the times you like.
