A plane flies over a globe in the shape of a brain.

If you’re looking for more affordable flights and have a flexible travel schedule, you can often save money by comparing days of the week when purchasing airline tickets. As a general rule, traveling mid-week (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday) or on a Saturday tends to be less expensive, although this is not always the case. A lot of the price depends on the airline algorithms–days with increased demand (usually because of business travelers) tend to be more expensive. Sometimes the difference can be significant and sometimes it can be so small as to be almost meaningless, but it never hurts to check…just in case.
