A friend of mine who used to work in the airline industry told me that the best day to travel or buy airline tickets is on Wednesday. You see, new fairs are distributed on Wednesdays, and Wednesday is a low travel day, so since more people aren't vying for those new fares, prices stay low. Just thought I would share that travel tip.

So you should buy your tickets on Wednesday? I heard this once before too. I need to get tickets from Rochester, NY to Jacksonville, FL. I will look this Wednesday, when is the best time in the day?

I have heard that Wednesdays are best as well. I always try to buy tickets on Wednesdays. Of course, now that I have 2 kids, flying is probably not something I'll be doing too often anyway.

I would try to get them in the wee hours of the morning, like from Midnight to 5:00 or 6:00 AM, but Wednesday period is generally a good day to purchase.

That's correct! Since it's a midweek, people don't usually purchase a ticket for this day. I got this tip, too, from an airline company. At least they're sharing this tip, too
