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:

Why are flights cheaper if you stay over the weekend?

Why travel during the off-peak season?
It's all about going to a place when its weather is at its best. For example, Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska are big hits in the summer. Florida, New Orleans, and Southern California are the most popular in springtime. Feeling the bitter cold? Well, the Caribbean Islands and Mexico can warm you up. Unless you're a ski bum -- then places like Colorado will be your winter wonderland. In the autumn, Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, and New England draw visitors. Flying during less popular periods can mean extra money in your wallet -- yes, please!
