Cheapest Day To Fly

[Alderbrook]

We are thinking of doing another trip to Disney next year. In the past we've always flown Sat - Sat. Is it cheaper to fly during the week? There's no reason why we can't fly on a Mon or Tues & I don't know why I didn't think of this before. We would be flying out of BUF.

Tues, Wed and Thurs are generally the cheapest days to fly. Saturday is also cheaper than Sunday

We're Tuesday fans too!

And flying out of BUF, the Southwest or Jetblue flights often only have specials Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

I'm with mbb ... Tuesday to Tuesday

I've signed back up for Airtran, JetBlue & SW's emails. How much cheaper are flights generally during the week? I can't check flights yet as we won't be going back until next September.

Yup, get those email alerts, they keep you in the loop.

From what I've read lately the best days to travel are now considered to be Tuesday and Wednesday. Personally, I see the same fares on Thursday (like others have said) too.

Tuesday afternoon is supposed to be the best time to buy airfare. Years ago it was just after midnight on Sunday, in the city your airline's head office is located. Personally, I just check as often as I can think of it, you just never know.
