What day is the best to fly during the week?
Tuesday
It can be difficult to decide which day of the week you should fly, because it depends more on what other travelers think than your own personal preferences. Kayak reports that “cheaper airfares are available mid-week. Tuesdays and Thursdays are often more affordable to fly home and out.” Rachel Mumford, Kayak UK Travel Expert tells us, “midweek flights tend not to be as popular, both for leisure and business travelers. Airlines often lower their prices to fill up seats.”
Paul Charles says that Tuesday is the best day to fly for leisure. It is better to avoid the weekend city-break travelers and families. It depends on where you are going.
Charles offers a general suggestion: consider flying indirectly when planning your trip. Charles says that a transit stop is a great way to not only get a better seat but also enjoy the journey more. Singapore‘s Changi Airport. “Slowing down can make your journey less stressful.”
Friday
The purpose of your vacation will determine the day you choose to travel. Sophie KnightCNT’s Visuals Editor, says. “If I’m doing a weekend away, I hate wasting valuable holiday days, so I try to book my flights accordingly—leaving Friday after work and returning late on a Sunday. Obviously, the flights are more expensive, so I look for deals on cheap flights.”
Sarah AllardSophie is being accompanied by, our digital director. “I am a strong advocate for maximizing annual leaves and getting as many trips in a calendar year as 25 days (and holidays) allow. “A European city break can’t be beat. I am more than willing to wake up at an ungodly time on a weekend morning to get to the airport and fly to my destination just in time to enjoy a coffee and pastry.”
There are ways to make the odds work in your favor if you must fly on another day. Charles advises that “flying on Saturday night instead of Sunday evening can ensure that you reach your destination before everyone else and you will also get a much cheaper flight, particularly if you are flying in premium cabin.”
