Hey, anything that gets you away from that desk is a win in our books. You're in the right spot to get a killer rate on your next flight from Chicago. Whether you label yourself an expert at navigating the friendly skies or only have a few trips under your wing, read below to score the best deal on your next flight.

How do you get the best deal on a ticket from CHI to QLA?

Hotwire has been doing this for years, so we know a couple ways to snag the best rate on your flight to Santa Ana. You'll make spending less look so very good with a few simple steps.

What is the best day of the week to book a flight?

Going with the flow can pay dividends when it comes to getting an affordable flight. Those middle children of the work week, Tuesday and Wednesday, typically have the best rates. Next in line are Thursday and, surprisingly, Saturday. Most people like to fly back from their trip 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 itineraries, 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 traveling to certain locations. So when it is chilly, most people head off to warmer climates 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 may not get the ideal weather, but you'll generally get better rates and be there when it is not flocked by out of towners.

Is that the lowest price?

You're not the only one waiting a superb bargain on a flight from Chicago to Santa Ana. You may miss out on your chance to get the carrier and the times you like.

Are there any other ways to save?

We think the Hotwire Hot Rate is one of the best deals out there, although we may be slightly biased. You can get a great deal on a flight from Chicago (CHI) to Santa Ana (QLA). You won't know the time and airline until after you book, but if you're not on a set schedule, you can save big on your flight.
