How do you get the best deal on a ticket from Chicago to Cologne?

Hotwire has been doing this for a long time, so we know a couple ways to snag the best price on your flight to Cologne. You'll make spending less look so very good 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 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 savings for you. We are all for that!

What are shoulder seasons?

Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most vacationers 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 our feathered friends. But in the summer, you'll find that Europe is really popular. If you want to save and avoid the crowds, travel when everyone else isn't.

Is that the lowest price?

Airlines change their rates seemingly by the minute. If you discover the price you like, then get it. Unsurprisingly, you're not the only flier waiting a superb rate on a flight from Chicago to Cologne. You could lose your chance to get the carrier and the schedule you need.

How else can I save on my flight from Chicago to Cologne?
