What are the best days of the week to travel?

Question

I am planning on going to Ft. Lauderdale Fl in the next few months (prob. Aug/Sept) and Im wondering if there is a better time of the week to travel. I want to get the lowest price on my flight and I know it is usually more expensive to travel on the weekends rather than on a week day so I just want to get some idea of when to travel. I did a search and the lowest tickets I found were around $250 is this a decent price?

Answer 1

The cheapest is Monday's, Tuesday's, and Wednesday's i would now i fly about once a week from New York to Paris and it is a lot more expensive to fly on the other days.

Answer 2

It is not easy to reply. Depends for the purpose of travel.

Business travellers tend to fly between 07:00 and 09:00 and return between 17:00 and 19:00 of the same day or the day of their return. On these flights there is demand and usually are full therefore the tickects are expensive. Of course they do travel on business day Monday to Friday. This applies to western and/ or christian countries.

In moslem countries the same roules apply for travels between Saturday to Wednesday/ Thursday.

In Israel the peak days are Sunday to Friday with similar times

Those who seek less expensive ticketc should seek departures on Tuesdays/ Wednesdays and return on Wednesdays/ Thursdays and Saturdays off peak hours [07:00-09:00 & 17:00-19:00] depending in the geographic area they are.

An advantage for the leisure passenger is to book at least three months ahead and take the benefit of airliner's special offers through the internet or an assosciated travel agent with possible restricions but very attractive prices.

In the intercontinental flights there is a similarity of customer behaviour

Answer 3

Well, according to Rick Seaney, the CEO of FareComapre.com, the best days to travel are on Saturdays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, because the number of passengers dip, which make prices go down. He also said for even more saving avoid flying on Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays, when the prices are traditionally higher, because thats when there are many business travelers, and airlines know  that business travelers can pay the extra cost. He also said that airfare increases  occur at the end of the week, so the best time to purchase a ticket would be on a Monday or Tuesday. Have a safe flight!
