Do flight prices differ based on the day of the week?


Travel Info
for example, lets say i am flying on a saturday, would that be more expensive than flying on a thursday?

Travel Tips
Your best deals will almost always include what is called a "Saturday Night Stay" -- airlines have this rule so that "business travelers" will be forced to pay a higher rate because they have to fly, and "vacation travelers" who do not have to fly will get an incentive to do so.

Day of week? Yeah, it probably matters some... Mondays and Fridays tend to have more travelers, so supply and demand speak toward driving prices higher on those days.

yeah weeday is usually cheaper...friday is expensive...it's all based on supply and demand dear.
For domestic travel, Saturday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are the cheapest days.

For international travel, Saturday is one of the more expensive days.
Airlines are companies that work on supply and demand. Demand is of course more on a weekend, so you expect fares to be higher than weekdays.
Yes. Mid week and "red eye" flights are usually cheaper
yes they do i just cant remeber what days are normaly more expensive than the other.
For most Asian countries, no. For flights to the US, yes. Cheaper tickets are those not valid for departures on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays.
