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 vacay 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?
If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to CHI can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less elastic schedules, so that means savings for you. Good thing to tell your boss if you have a business trip -- wink-wink.
What are shoulder seasons?
Have good weather, will travel. Summertime is when Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska are at their most popular. Popular Spring Break destinations are New Orleans, California, and Florida. 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. During autumn, Northern California, the Pacific Northwest, and New England draw visitors. If you can plan your trip around these peak seasons, you'll not only save money, but you'll typically avoid the crowds. Win-win in our books.
If the price is right, pick it!
