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.
- 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?
Staying the weekend at your destination, like San Francisco, usually means lower airfare since most people fly during this time. Good thing to tell your boss if you have a business trip -- wink-wink.
What are shoulder seasons?
Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most vacationers aren't traveling to certain locations. So when it's cold, most people head to warmer climates like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like the birds (they had it figured out). But during the summer months, you'll find that Europe is really popular. You may not get the ideal weather, but you'll typically get better prices and avoid the mobs of tourist.
Is that the lowest price?
You're not the only vacation-hungry person longing for an amazing deal on a ticket from Portland to San Francisco. You could miss your chance to dial in the time and the flight you wanted.
