How do I get the best price on my ticket from NYC to SBA?

We've been in the game a long time, so we know a couple ways to snag the best price on your flight to Santa Barbara. You'll make spending less look so very good with a few simple steps.

What is the cheapest day 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.

Can staying the weekend get me a cheaper ticket?

If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to NYC can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less elastic itineraries, so that means 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'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 during the summer, you'll find that Europe is really popular. You can usually save on your flight when you avoid flying during the peak seasons.

If the price is right, pick it!

Airline carriers change their rates by the hour sometimes. If you find the price you like, then pick it. You're not the only flier waiting an amazing rate on a ticket from New York to Santa Barbara. You may miss out on your opportunity to get the flight and the time you want.
