 Is there a BEST time to buy airline tickets? |
| The Art of Buying Cheap Airfare What is the very best day AND the very best time to purchase a cheap airline ticket? Hard to imagine, but it's on Wednesdays from 12am - 1am in the time zone of each airline's "home base." Delta Airlines: Atlanta, GA (-5) Air Canada - Montreal, QC (-5) United AIrlines: Chicago, IL (-6) American Airlines: Ft. Worth, TX (-6) Northwest Airlines: Eagan, MN (-6) Continental Airlines Houston, TX (-6) Southwest Airlines - Dallas, TX (-6) US Airways - Tempe, AZ (-7) Hawaiian Airlines - Honolulu, HI (-10) Now let me explain this... On Wednesday mornings between 12am and 1am, the computer systems of most airlines get rid of the reserved but unbooked lower fare reservations. Most of us at one time or another have booked a reservation, then let it go without purchase. If you can snap up these fares right after the computer dump happens, you're likely to get a significant discount. Want to test me? Search Kayak now for your airfare and write the best rates down. Then bookmark this page and check Kayak again between 12:00am and 1:00am on Wednesday morning for the discount rates. Have fun! Enjoying the Going2Oahu Blog?
