dunno, but when I booked my flight to atlanta, there was a 100-something dollar price difference between flying on a monday, and a wed, I ended up flying on a wednesday.

I just priced a Mon/Wed trip, Tues/Thurs trip, and a Mon/Sun trip. Weekday flights were priced identically, Mon/Sun was 50% lower.

If bet whoever told the OP had the same experience as me, and just figured it was fact? Here is a travel tip, if your dates are flexible, try a bunch of different combos of days!

Re: Travel tips.
 

Well, if Tues is legitimately priced more cheaply than Mon I'd like to know.

Re: Travel tips.
 

The person who gave me the tip said it was cheaper to book the flight ONLINE on a tuesday not book it to travel on a tuesday. Sorry for the confusion.

Ok. Well, good luck with life.

Re: Travel tips.
 

though i don't think it's gospel, i've read before on semi-reputable sites (either CNN or Forbes.com) that 21 to 24 days before your flight on a Wednesday is the cheapest time to book your flight, if your travel days are specific.

i remember this detail because i wondered where the hell their information came from.

my guess is a psychic, but it was published nonetheless

Also if you flies out of LA see if Spirit Air flys to your location. They often have the best price.

I was about to book a flight to vegas and someone told me to wait until tomorrow (tuesday) to save a few bucks. This got me thinking, anyone have any other tips for savings or stuff when traveling?

edit: i guess tuesday is cheaper than monday which is cheaper than friday-sunday. Probably has to do with how many people book over the weekends.

Monday and Tuesday are the biggest booking days in the airline industry. Mostly because people are sitting at work dreaming of their next vacation, I'd guess.
