When is the Best Day to Book a Flight?
According to our research, Thursdays and weekend days are the worst days to book flights. Thursdays tend to have markups due to increased search traffic. Weekends tend to be automated, meaning an automated software will adjust prices based on a few criteria.
For the best day to book the cheapest flights, Monday and Tuesday are ideal. If extra seats weren’t sold over the weekend, they might get discounted on Monday. These discounted airfares will often be posted Monday night, so it is best to book late Monday or early Tuesday for a cheap vacation.
