How do you get the best deal on a flight from ALB to CHI?

We've been doing this for a long time, which means getting that great deal on a Chicago flight is easy-peasy. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a few simple tips and tricks.

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.

Can staying the weekend get me a cheaper ticket?

Spending the weekend at your destination, like Chicago, usually means lower airfare since most people fly during this time. Of course, we don't want to twist your rubber arm or anything.

Can you save while traveling during the off-peak season?

Off-peak and shoulder seasons are when most people aren't flying to certain locations. So when it's cold, most people head off to warmer climates like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like the birds (they had it figured out). But in the summer, you'll find that Europe gets busy. If you want to save and avoid the crowds, travel when everyone else isn't.

If the price is right, pick it!

Airline carriers change their rates often. If a price you want pops up, then grab it. Unsurprisingly, you're not the only one searching for a stellar price on a ticket from Albany to Chicago. You might miss out on your chance to dial in the time and the flight you wanted.
