Hotwire has been doing this for a long time, so we know a couple ways to snag the best rate on your flight to Rio de Janeiro. 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 cheapest day to fly?

Just like a yogi, it pays to be flexible. Our dear friends, Tuesday and Wednesday, typically have the best rates. Next, Thursday and, surprisingly, Saturday. Most like to come back on Sunday so you can save by leaving a day earlier.

What's the Saturday night stay rule?

Staying the weekend at your destination, like Rio de Janeiro, 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?

Have good weather, will travel. For example, Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska are big hits in the summer. 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. Flying during less popular periods can mean extra money in your wallet -- yes, please!
