The Myth of the Cheapest Flight Day: How to Actually Save on Airfare
Is There Really a Best Day to Book a Flight? Travel Experts Weigh In Recent studies from Expedia and Google challenge the long-held belief that booking flights on specific days guarantees cheaper fares. A new video by Honeyfund, a travel planning resource, explains that airline pricing is dynamic, meaning prices fluctuate based on a variety of factors including demand and time of year. This dynamic pricing model means there's no single "best" day to book. "The truth is that airlines operate on dynamic pricing models that fluctuate," explains Honeyfund in their video. Instead of focusing on the day of the week, the video suggests travelers focus on booking within a reasonable timeframe before their trip. For domestic flights, they recommend booking no later than 28 days in advance, while international trips may require booking six to seven months out. The video also highlights the use of price-monitoring tools, like Google Flights Alerts, to track price fluctuations and receive notifications when prices drop. This strategy allows travelers to be more proactive in finding the best deals, regardless of the day of the week. By focusing on planning and utilizing price monitoring tools, travelers can increase their chances of securing cost-effective flights. This practical advice empowers travelers to take control of their travel expenses and plan their trips more effectively.
