Recently the U. S. News had a column talking about some travel myths that were not altogether true. I thought I'd review a few of those and add my own comments about them.
We are always getting the questions “what are the least expensive days to travel”, and we have usually said Tuesday, Wednesday, and in some cases Saturday. For the most part, that holds true because there is a lot of commercial travel on Mondays and Fridays, and domestic travel is usually heavy on Sundays, both of which increases the price. On the other hand, the founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, George Hobica, says “there's really no magic formula”. Research show that to find the best deals, purchasing your tickets between one and four months prior to your trip will likely yield the lowest rates.
