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?

Spending the weekend at your destination, like Melbourne, usually means lower airfare since most people fly during this time. We're all for that!

Why travel during the off-peak season?

Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most vacationers aren't going to certain locations. So when it is chilly, most people head to warmer places 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 may not get the ideal weather, but you'll typically get better rates and avoid the crowds.
