5/21/10 WHEN TO FLY?
I found this in a back issue of Family Circle.
** Airlines' sales usually start on Monday and end by Thursday.
** The least expensive flights are on off-peak days: Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday.
**The first flights on Saturday morning may be the cheapest.
**The costliest takeoffs tend to be Sunday afternoon (when leisure travelers fly home) and Monday morning (when business travelers head back to the office).
**If you are planning a long weekend away, consider flying out on a Saturday and returning on Tuesday (highest fares are usually for Thursday through Sunday itineraries).
Flexibility will get you better savings! Check out Priceline.com and Hotwire.com to help find lower fares.
