How do I get the best price on my flight from CHI to YOW?

We've been doing this for a long time, so we know a couple ways to snag the best rate on your flight to Ottawa. 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?

It pays to be a weekday warrior. Our dear friends, Tuesday and Wednesday, typically have the best rates. Next in line are Thursday and, surprisingly, Saturday. Most like to come back on Sunday so you can save by leaving a day earlier.

Why are flights cheaper if you stay over the weekend?

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?

Off-peak and shoulder seasons are when most people aren't traveling to certain locations. So when it is chilly, most people head 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 is really popular. You can usually save on your ticket when you avoid flying during the peak seasons.

Is that the lowest price?

Airline carriers change their rates by the hour sometimes. If a price you like pops up, then pick it! Unsurprisingly, you're not the only flier longing for a great bargain on a flight from Chicago to Ottawa. You may miss out on your chance to dial in the time and the flight you wanted.
