How can you get a great rate on tickets from Washington to San José?

We've been doing this for a long time, so we know a couple ways to get the best deal on your flight to San José. You'll make spending less look so very good with a little know-how.

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. So, get on while the getting is good.
  • 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.

Why are flights cheaper if you stay over the weekend?

If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to WAS 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. Of course, we don't want to twist your rubber arm or anything.

Can you save while traveling during the off-peak season?

There's good reason that many people travel during certain times of the year -- they want to enjoy incredible weather. For example, Europe, Hawaii, and Alaska are big hits in the summer. During spring, New Orleans, Florida, and California open their arms to tourists. Winter is prime for Mexico and the Caribbean because of its warm weather, as well as ski and snowboard destinations like the Colorado Rockies. Who doesn't love some good fall foliage? 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!

Airlines change their rates seemingly by the minute. If you peep the price you like, then book it. Unsurprisingly, you're not the only vacation-hungry person seeking a superb rate on a flight from Washington to San José. You could lose your opportunity to dial in the time and the flight you wanted.
