Pro tip: always book your flight on a Tuesday afternoon for the best deals

I was booking a trip to Denver last month and noticed the price dropped $80 when I checked on a Tuesday versus the weekend before. Has anyone else had luck with specific days or times for booking?

Add in setting a price alert to catch those Tuesday drops too.

Honestly, Jenny's got a point that the whole "Tuesday drop" thing isn't some magic guarantee. I've had way more luck setting price alerts on a site like Google Flights and just waiting for a notification, rather than hoping a specific day works. It catches random sales that pop up on a Wednesday or a Sunday too, not just Tuesdays. Plus you can set alerts for specific routes and get an email the second a price dips, which saves you from checking all the time.

That hasn't been my experience at all. I checked flights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for a trip to Chicago and saw no difference from the weekend prices. You probably just got lucky with a random sale, not the day of the week.
