How can you get a great rate on tickets from Philadelphia to Washington?
We've been in the game a long time, which means getting that great deal on a Washington flight is easy-peasy. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a few simple tips and tricks.
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 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 Washington, usually means lower airfare since most people fly during this time. Good thing to tell your boss if you have a business trip -- wink-wink.
What are shoulder seasons?
Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most people aren't going to certain locations. So when it is chilly, most people head off to warmer places like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like the birds (they had it figured out). But during the summer months, you'll find that Europe gets busy. If you want lower airfare and avoid the crowds, travel when everyone else isn't.
If the price is right, pick it!
Airlines change their rates by the hour sometimes. If a price you want pops up, then get it. There are a lot of others that are longing for an amazing deal on a ticket from Philadelphia to Washington. You might miss your chance to dial in the time and the flight you wanted.
