## How to Snag a Cheap Flight: Be Flexible!

Finding a good deal on airfare can feel like a challenge, but travel experts agree on one key strategy: flexibility. Here’s a breakdown of how to save money on your next flight:

• Be Flexible with Dates: Shifting your travel dates by even a day or two can make a “huge difference.”
• Fly Midweek: Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays are generally the cheapest days to fly, with tickets being 13% less expensive than weekend flights.
• Avoid Sundays: Sunday is often the most expensive day to fly.
• Consider the Season: Traveling during the shoulder season or off-season can lead to significant savings. For example, shifting from peak summer to September or October can save you a lot.
• Don’t Worry About Booking Day: The day you book your flight doesn’t matter as much as the day you fly.
• Embrace Layovers: Flights with layovers can save you about 22% compared to nonstop flights.
• Book in Advance: Booking your flight about 39 days before departure for domestic flights and 49 days for international flights can yield savings.
