cheap airline tickets on Tuesday midnight

As you know, airfare does depend on the airline, but it also depends on the dates that you're looking to travel on. Generally speaking, it's a bit cheaper to fly on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. And generally speaking, the airfares you find will be lower if you search for them on a Tuesday afternoon compared to a Monday. This is because airlines often introduce new fare sales on Tuesday mornings. I've actually gotten gypped a couple of times for not following this rule (I booked a flight on Monday, then saw that the airfare dropped the following day).
the best "hour" to buy tickets is on Wednesday at midnight (midnight at your airline's base city, not necessarily your midnight). airlines release holds on tickets every day at midnight
Apparently, this is the time when unbooked fares are heavily discounted for the public and made available for a quick sale.
The best thing to do is to buy your ticket early. The longer you wait, the more expensive the airfare will most likely be.Discount fares have advance purchase requirements (usually 14 or 21 days), so there is an advantage to buying before then.
Usually, your tickets are going to be cheaper if you buy them from the airlines site directly. They don't charge service fees, so it saves you a few dollars. But it's more of the fact that the airlines are easier to work with if you book with them, I've heard a lot of bad things about booking with sites like Expedia and Orbitz. It's always worth checking directly,you have plenty of airline choices. American, Continental, Delta, United, US Airways, AirTran, Midwest/Frontier, and Southwest are the options I can think of off the top of my head. Sites such as Expedia and Orbitz will also yield comparable or equal fares to what you would find at each airline's site.

which month do Airlines Raise airfares

What month has the lowest airfare rates depends on what airline you fly (as they all vary in price), and of course on the country you're hoping to fly to. But here are a few general tips:

Airlines Raise airfares to europe in the summer months, from the beginning of July to the end of September.because it is the busiest time period. Also it is far away and prices tend to be on the high side 4+ months in advance, but with summer being so busy the airline is usually on the dot. Wait until 6 weeks before you want to go to buy your ticket. Buy it with more than 28 days in advance to get the usually "best" price.

Another tip: It is usually cheaper to fly into Germany, Belgium, Austria, Spain, etc.. instead of France, UK, or Italy. They do not get as many tourist compared to those 3 European countries. If you intend to travel around Europe and visit several countries, fly into one of the less busy European countries instead and start your vacation from there.


1) The cheapest airfares are usually sold in the winter months, or going onto spring - as long as you're not trying to fly to a country that's big on snow resorts, of course!!

2) Choose your airline carefully, as different airlines usually have price differences ranging between sometimes 1000's of $.

3) DO NOT book through a travel agent, as they ask for commission, so you're automatically paying them extra, on top of the actual fare price! For cheapest bookings, go to the airline's website, and search their 'specials'. They often tell you on the website what month would have the cheapest fares available.

4) Try to fly at unconventional times - such as 2 am, or 11pm. You may be paying $100s more if you fly at peak-hour, which is usually 5am - 9pm.
