Are there days that are cheaper to fly on with Southwest?
From SWA website:
Helpful Hints to Find Fares and Flights:
To find the best fares:
Time of the flight: Select a flight before 7:00am or after 7:00pm. In addition, Saturday and Sunday flights are eligible for off-peak pricing.
Day of the week: Certain Southwest fares are priced lower on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
To find an available flight:
Try selecting a flight on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday. These days are traditionally not traveled as heavily as Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.
Midday flights are more likely to have seats available than morning flights (7:00am-9:00am) and late afternoon flights (3:00pm-6:00pm).
The most popular times to travel are Friday night, Sunday afternoon and evening, and Monday morning and thus, it is harder to get the lower fares at these times.
