What's The Best Time to Buy Airline Tickets?



Want a good tip on buying plane tickets??  Want to know the absolute best time to purchase a ticket directly from the airlines? According to AARP (and tested by yours truly), it's Wednesday from midnight to 1am in the time zone of the airline's "home base." (For example, United Airlines is headquartered in Chicago so it would be 12am - 1am CST).

It's cheaper because that is when 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. You can snap-up these discounted fares right after this happens and you're likely to get a significant discount.
