Q and A: Best day to buy cheap airline tickets online

There s a bit of an art to finding the best airfares online. (Photo: Anna BizoÃ. Getty Images/iStockphoto)

1815 CONNECT TWEET 4 LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MORE

Q. I am planning our next visit to see my parents. Is there a specific day when airline fares are the lowest online?

A. Airlines often announce deals on Monday evenings. By Tuesday at noon, other airlines are scrambling to match those deals. So many people think that Tuesday afternoons are the best time to hunt for reduced airfare.

Texas A M University, however, crunched the numbers and found that weekends are actually the best time to book airline tickets. That's because airlines are more likely to lower their fares on Saturday and Sunday to attract leisure travelers. The study found that tickets purchased on the weekend were historically an average of 5 percent cheaper than similar tickets purchased during the week.< ... Read more »

Reviews

I cannot begin to warn you about the HORRENDOUS SERVICE provided by this company. Here are the details:

Booked a flight through Kayak.com, not aware it was a third party doing the booking (1st problem and unacceptable practice from Kayak) - The booking company turned out to be Airfare.com

The fare was a little better than others, but not much, and definitely not worth the aggravation and excess charges.

Change fees are $350 DOLLARS, when the airline only charges $200.00, but they claim its the airline. So they are charging $150 dollars above the airline fees for themselves.

It is an absolute nightmare to make any changes, since they are incredibly inefficient. Unfortunately, you are forced to go through them for any issues with your ticket.

I needed to make a change to my outbound flight, so I sent a request through their site.

24 hours later I had no reply or confirmation of receipt, so I called their custome ... Read more »
