I was wondering if anyone knows if it's cheaper to fly on the weekend or during the week? Is it cheaper to fly at a certain time during the day? Is it cheaper to book a flight months in advance or does it not make a difference?

I will be traveling later this year and it would be helpful to know. Thanks. :)

I've heard it's better to travel on Tuesday or Saturday... But I gotta tell you with the gas prices going up, I don't think the airfares are going down anytime soon.

I travel a lot, and I can tell you that it is cheaper to fly during mid-week like on a tuesday or Wednesday and return on those days. Also if you fly non-stop those tickets are also more expensive than the flights that has stops. Hope that helps.

I found this today on my Welcome page.

I heard it is a good idea to buy your tickets on a Wednesday -- I believe that is the day of the week when airlines announce their discounts.

Also, the further in advance you buy your tickets, the less you're likely to pay.

Thanks everyone for the tips and information. :)

I have looked into prices for my trip and was shocked at the difference in price range. A flight on any day other than Tuesday is twice as expensive. It's cool that it's less on a Tuesday. :)

Do you have to stay for a certain length of time to get the discount?

The discount price is if I stay from Tuesday to Tuesday which is one week. Any other day of the week with the same number of days would double the price, for example Sunday to Sunday.
