Scour the internet and you’ll find lots of advice on what days of the week to book flights for the cheapest fares. But depending on where you look, you’re bound to find conflicting suggestions to book airfare on just about every day of the week to snag the best deals. Upgraded Points is finally getting to the bottom of this.
The Upgraded Points team recorded Google Flights prices every day for four weeks to find which booking days averaged the cheapest flights. Looking at flights three to four weeks in advance of the departure date, the study compared one-way economy fares for 10 popular domestic flight routes across major US airlines. Note: Southwest doesn’t share flight data with Google and therefore isn’t included in the findings.
