Low price airfare????

[michelehiggins]

Hello, does anyone know if there are any difference in airfares if you get them on different days of the week. Someone told me that is you go on orbitz at 3 am on a wednsday they are cheaper.... I'm not so sure I beleive that.....

Yes, we fly Jet Blue, and fly on Mon. thru Wed. and get a better price than on week-ends.

i know continental is cheaper on a tuesday & wednesday. we usually go sunday mornings and its empty. last year we went away on a tuesday early in the morning & the line for security was packed. I asked someone and they said the fares are cheaper if you leave on a tuesday or wednesday. But with airlines, its a game. one minute i'll look and the fare is one thing, then an hour later, it drops to another fare and then two hours later its back up again. i start 3 months before i'm going to leave and check every day the fares at different times. i would check airfares on a wednesday morning early (go onto website and see the airfares they post early wednesdays). they seem to adjust their fares at that time and those fares usually keep for almost a day, lol....

I believe the OP was referring to the best time to book the fare.

Traditionally fares have been less expensive mid-week.

Delta I know is now less expensive from ATL for Saturday travel than mid-week travel, in order to compete with Air Tran who also fly non-stop from ATL.

I just looked for June: mid-week $726 and Saturday $456. This just goes to prove what competition can do for airfares.

NEVER, ever book airfare on the weekends or holidays. You will find the whole week before or after a holiday airfare will be higher.
I, too found airfare to be cheaper midweek.
