How do you get the best deal on a flight from CHI to FAI?
Hotwire has been doing this for years, so we know a few ways to get the best rate on your flight to Fairbanks. 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. So, get on while the getting is good.
- 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.
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 flexible schedules, so that means more savings for you. Of course, we don't want to twist your rubber arm or anything.
What are shoulder seasons?
Off-peak and shoulder seasons are when most vacationers aren't flying to certain locations. So when it is cold, most people head to warmer places like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like our feathered friends. But in the summer months, you'll find that Europe is really popular. You can usually save on your ticket when you fly when everyone else isn't.
