How can you get a great rate on tickets from SJC to GLA?
Hotwire has been doing this for a long time, so we know a couple ways to find the best deal on your flight to Edinburgh. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a few simple steps.
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.
Why are flights cheaper if you stay over the weekend?
If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to SJC can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less flexible itineraries, so that means savings for you. Good thing to tell your boss if you have a business trip -- wink-wink.
Why travel during the off-peak season?
Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most people aren't going to certain locations. So when it's chilly, 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 is where it's at. You may not get the ideal weather, but you'll generally get better prices and be there when it is not flocked by out of towners.
Is that the lowest price?
Airlines change their rates often. If you discover the price you like, then book it. Unsurprisingly, you're not the only traveler waiting an awesome bargain on a flight from San Francisco to Edinburgh. You could miss out on your chance to get the flight and the schedule you want.
