You're on the perfect page to get an awesome deal on your next flight from Portland. Whether you label yourself an airline aficionado or only have a few trips under your wing, read on to see how to book a too-good-to-be-true flight.

How do you get the best deal on a ticket from PDX to SJO?

Hotwire has been in the game a long time, so we know a few ways to get the best deal on your flight to San José. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a few simple steps.

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

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.

What's the Saturday night stay rule?

If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to PDX can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less flexible schedules, so that means more savings for you. Good thing to tell your boss if you have a business trip -- wink-wink.

Why travel during the off-peak season?

Off-peak and shoulder seasons are when most people aren't traveling 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 gets busy. You can usually save on your ticket when you fly when everyone else isn't.
