What is the best day to book airline tickets?
I smile because of them ♥ asked:
I’m trying to book a flight to San Diego from San Jose on Southwest Airlines because I found a roundtrip for $88.00. Anyway, I’ve noticed that on certain days it goes up. I tried to book it on Friday and today and it was at more than $300.00. Why does it go up on certain days? And what days is the cheapest day to book tickets. Not to fly but to book.

becaus most people have the weekends off and most people travel friday- sun…so they want to make the most money so they raise the prices for the majority that travels on the weekends…….also u can see this close to holidays as well….advice would be to buy ur ticket on a monday away from holidays and travel when u want…….hope i helped…:)

Well u want to book it on a very normal day never on a holiday i would have to say Wensday is your best and never weekend and make sure you are doing 14 days before departure cause then the prices go up.

The weekends are always not good because they are busy so I would try in the middle of the week(Wednesday) when things calm down! Ask Southwest Airlines when do there prices change?
