In general, airfare is cheapest midweek and at odd hours (early in the morning, late at night, red eye flights). When you search for fares, indicate that your dates are flexible, and most websites will show comparison rates for different days.

More input from Answers.com contributors:

  • I have found most of my cheapest flights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays and at inconvenient hours like the 7:30 AM flight.
  • Many airfares are less expensive mid week, but this is not always true. I recently found the least expensive fare going to my destination was on Tuesday, but my best fares on the return flight were Sunday night.
  • Plane tickets are the cheapest during the early part of the week. Monday night is when most air fare discounts are launched. Tuesday is the day people purchase the most airline tickets. Wednesday is also a good day to buy airline tickets but by Thursday and Friday most of the tickets are sold.
  • Airline flight tickets prices are at their highest on weekends.
  • Wednesday (maybe Thursday morning) is cheapest from experience and from what I read on other websites.
  • Because of the predominance of business travelers, Mondays and Fridays are generally considered the more expensive days to fly. Mid-week tickets, Tue-Thu are mostly cheaper, but any differences will depend on route and how far in advance the booking is made.

Midweek is usually the cheapest (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday). Also, avoid school holidays and book as far ahead as possible (at least 3 months) in order to get the best deals.
