Two days with the cheapest airfares of the week

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are almost always cheaper than the rest of the week, according to British travel expert Dawn Morwood.

Dawn Morwood, director of UK-based discount airline Cheap Deals Away, points out that travelers can save significantly by booking flights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Prices tend to increase on Saturdays as people try to make the most of their holiday. In addition, many airlines adjust their prices on Monday evenings after finalizing their weekend sales. By Tuesday, competing airlines will have offered similar prices.

However, there is no fixed formula to help passengers always buy cheap tickets. The most effective way is still to compare prices from many sources and book as soon as you see a suitable price. British experts also advise travelers to be flexible about departure dates and compare ticket prices by day to choose the most economical option.

In the past, many people often thought that the earlier you book a ticket, the cheaper it is. However, according to Morwood, this tip is not always correct. She has seen travelers book a trip 10 months in advance to hunt for a cheap deal, then be disappointed when they see the price drop by more than $200 a few weeks before departure. The reason is that many airlines apply a flexible pricing model, adjusting based on market demand.

However, booking tickets too close to the departure date is not a wise choice. Travelers may face high prices, limited options, and the risk of staying in a poor quality accommodation due to full rooms.

Ms Morwood suggests booking six to eight weeks in advance for short-haul flights. For long-haul flights, the ideal time to book is eight to 12 weeks before departure.

Being flexible with your flight times and destinations is also a tip from experts to save money. Flights departing early in the morning or late at night are often cheaper because they are less popular.

Many online booking systems allow travelers to choose alternate airports or change flight dates. Using smaller airports or accepting multiple layovers can save you money. In the US, cities like New York, Boston, Chicago, and Houston all have multiple airports within close proximity, with different fares. Changing your itinerary by just a few days can save you money.

In addition to choosing the date to book tickets, experts also point out that January - March is the best month to hunt for holiday deals and save money. August is the time to "avoid" because children are on vacation, many parents will take their children on summer vacation. Holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving or spring break are also when ticket prices increase.
