Which days of the week are cheapest to fly?

What are shoulder seasons?

Off-peak and shoulder seasons are when most vacationers aren't going to certain locations. So when it is cold, most people head 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 where it's at. You may not get the ideal weather, but you'll usually get better prices and avoid the crowds.
