Hotwire has been doing this for years, so we know a couple ways to get the best rate on your flight to San Francisco. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a few simple tips and tricks.
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 holiday 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 SHA can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less elastic schedules, so that means more savings for you. Good thing to tell your boss if you have a business trip -- wink-wink.
What are shoulder seasons?
Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most vacationers aren't flying to certain locations. So when it is 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. If you want lower airfare and avoid the crowds, travel when everyone else isn't.
