easyJet shares best days of the week to book cheap flights

There’s also a few key months to consider too when planning a holiday

Finding affordable flights can be challenging, with many travellers searching across different dates in hopes of securing the best fare. But, according to travel experts, some days of the week are more likely to offer better value than others.

While prices can vary depending on factors such as where you are flying to and flight availability, easyJet says you should really look out for two days of the week in particular.

It writes: “The cheapest day of the week to fly can vary depending on the destination, flights available, and time of year. However, we’d recommend being flexible with your dates and considering flying outside of peak weekend flight times.

“By booking to fly on Wednesday or Thursday rather than Friday, you can find bargain flights (and get more time at your destination!).”

What is the cheapest month to fly in?

It’s not just the days of the week that you want to be thinking about. The budget airline also said that the start and end of the year are key periods for bargain hunters.

It adds: “The cheapest month to fly often depends on the destination and the type of trip you’re planning. For traditional warm-weather destinations in Spain or Italy, you can often find the cheapest plane tickets in the winter months of January and February.

“If you’re booking a trip to the mountains or traditional winter destinations like Finland, you’ll often find cheaper flights in November or March.”

As one of the world’s largest airlines, easyJet operates a fleet of 355 aircraft, connecting 164 airports in 38 countries through 1,207 routes. While booking flights during the recommended days and months does not guarantee the lowest fares, it can significantly improve your chances of securing a bargain with the airline urging people to use its Low Fare Finder when searching for the cheapest flight dates to secure the best deals.
