If you’re someone who needs to travel a lot, there’s no secret that the prices eventually add up. It’s not easy to constantly be spending your hard-earned dollars on flight tickets, and ultimately whenever you’re able to catch a break, you take it. Sometimes these breaks come in the form of budget hacks, especially when it comes to better flight prices. Here’s one hack that you may have heard of before—but if haven’t, it’ll surely help you out down the line.
The Tuesday Effect
Next time you book a flight, compare the price of the day you’re flying to that of a Tuesday. More often than not, the flight on Tuesday will be cheaper. Due to the fact that so many people are usually clamoring to fly on the weekends—and considering the fact that Tuesday is smack dab in the middle of the week—it makes sense that Tuesdays would be cheaper, and it’s pretty much always the case.
So if you’re trying to fly somewhere and it doesn’t really matter to you which day you leave, we’d highly recommend trying for a Tuesday. You’d be shocked how much cheaper your entire total price may come out to, especially when you do the same for your return trip.
