The least expensive day of the week to fly is Tuesday. The most expensive day to fly is Sunday, followed closely by Friday. For my business travels I do not have a choice what day of the week to fly - I can only hope my schedule permits me to fly on a Tuesday (or a Wednesday) and NOT on a Sunday. When I book my Jamaica trips I try to book for Tuesdays as well - even using FF miles we have a better shot of getting that mileage seat on that day of the week as opposed to a Sunday.
This is not true for every scenario. We do a lot of searching for our flights and what you say is generally true, but it all depends on the week/ month/ season and airports you are travelling to and from. Many times we can find better airfare on days other than Tuesday.Originally Posted by rastagirl777
Just booked Delta out of LAX on a Tuesday with a return on Thursday, leaving at the end of Sept. $569ea with exit row seating from LAX-ATL as well as ATL-LAX. I have seen nothing short of $600 lately for a decent flight, around 10 hours each way. Delta also does not charge baggage fees for up to two checked bags each. I hate ATL, having been delayed on most flights out of there. However my other option for a shorter flight was Miami, and I have heard nothing but bad news about Miami. I'm going to wish for the best on this booking.
