Hotwire has been in the game a long time, so we know a few ways to find the best price on your flight to Chennai. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a few simple tips and tricks.
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 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?
Staying the weekend at your destination, like Chennai, 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?
There's good reason that many people travel during certain times of the year -- they want to enjoy incredible weather. Summertime is when Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska are at their most popular. During spring, New Orleans, Florida, and California open their arms to tourists. Feeling the bitter cold? Well, the Caribbean Islands and Mexico can warm you up. Unless you're a ski bum -- then places like Colorado will be your winter wonderland. Who doesn't love that harvest of autumn colors? The Pacific Northwest, Northern California, and New England are popular this time of the year. If you can plan your trip around these peak seasons, you'll not only save money, but you'll typically avoid the crowds. Win-win in our books.
If the price is right, pick it!
