TIPS: Airline Tickets What Day of the Week to get Great Deals

Do your research and if possible, purchase your airline tickets on a Wednesday. This is not a gaurantee, however, it is a typical scenario. An airline announces a fare sale on a Monday or Tuesday and other airlines match the price or undercut it. On Wednesday, the fare wars are on high alert, alas, by Thursday, all the great fares are GONE. Keep in mind Saturday is the WORST day to buy a ticket. Airlines usually raise their prices on a Friday night to see if other airlines follow,if not, then fares may go down on a Monday.
