When are the cheapest days to fly to Phoenix?

Question

My friends and I want to take a trip to Phoenix, Arizona sometime after school ends June 4. When are the cheapest days to fly to Phoenix from Detroit Metro Airport? Would it be cheaper for us to just drive? There are four of us.

Answer 1

Cheap tickets are a thing of the past. The airlines are bleeding green. Take what you can afford. Its only going to get worse..........

Answer 2

It may be cheaper to drive, but it will take longer.  The cheapest days to fly are generally Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Answer 3

Driving will probbaly be cheaper if you split the gas 4 ways. Wednesdays are the cheapest day to fly usually.  

Answer 4
