London - If you’re planning a holiday, it turns out you shouldn’t treat Sunday as a day of rest.
New research from the Airlines Reporting Corp (ARC) suggests that the lowest fares are found on Sundays, regardless of the domestic or international destination.
During the traditional Monday through Friday work week, tickets purchased on Tuesday were the best bargains.
The findings were part of a study into nearly 130 million ticket purchases between January last year and July this year. However, it only looked at tickets purchased from travel agents and ticket printing offices, and did not include tickets purchased directly from airlines.
ARC’s study revealed that the best deals for US domestic routes were found eight weeks before the date of departure, while the lowest fares for international destinations were found 24 weeks in advance. – Daily Mail
