How do I get the best price on my flight from SJC to MSY?

We've been in the game a long time, which means getting that great deal on a New Orleans flight is easy-peasy. 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 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.

Can staying the weekend get me a cheaper ticket?

Staying the weekend at your destination, like New Orleans, usually means lower airfare since most people fly during this time. We are all for that!

What are shoulder seasons?

Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most people aren't traveling to certain locations. So when it is chilly, most people head off to warmer places like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like the birds (they had it figured out). But in 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.
