Which days of the week are cheapest to fly?

It pays to be a weekday warrior. Those middle children of the work week, Tuesday and Wednesday, typically have the best rates. Next in line are 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?

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 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 is really popular. If you want lower airfare and avoid the crowds, travel when everyone else isn't.
