Air tickets cheaper on Tuesdays: Expedia
April 13 (TravelAndy): Buying your flight ticket on Tuesdays is most likely to give you the best deal, says travel giant Expedia.
In a “comprehensive review of air travel data” brought out by the company, it says, “For years, based largely upon data from ticket purchases over time, industry insiders believed that the best day of the week to buy (i.e., the day of the week with the lowest average ticket prices) was Tuesday. A recent study by Expedia of air-ticket price data indicates that for travel booked more than three weeks in advance of departure date, Tuesday still appears, by the slimmest of margins, to be the best day of the week to buy.”
It must be remembered that this statement by Expedia is only based on statistics.
Airfares lowest for Tues & Wed flights
April 13 (TravelAndy): Airfares tend to be lowest for flights that depart on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, say experts of Airfarewatchdog, Cheapair and Expedia.
However, it is important to remember that this is not an exact science and these assumptions are only based on trends.
In a “comprehensive review of air travel data” brought out by travel giant Expedia, it says for short-haul trips, travelers can save up to 25 per cent by departing on Saturday and returning on Tuesday as compared to departing on Sunday and returning on Monday.
For long-haul flights, Expedia says, leaving on a Thursday and returning on Monday can prove 20 per cent cheaper than departing on Friday and returning on Saturday.
