1. The Best Time to Buy Air Ticket
According to Rick Seaney, the CEO and Co-Founder of FareCompare, the best shopping period for low
airfares is between three and a half months and 30 days before departure – no sooner or later! For
example, fares on United for non-stop flights from Houston to LAX are $442 (3 months in advance), $494
(30 days in advance), and $1,259 (same- day departure). And based on an in-depth study of FareCompare’s
huge airfare database – the world’s largest, in fact – the best days to fly are Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Saturday, with Wednesday offering the cheapest airfares. The most expensive days to fly? Fridays and
Sundays! And if you’re an early bird, you’re in luck – the cheapest flights are usually the early morning
flights (i.e., 6:00 a.m.)!

10. Get More Legroom On Your Next Flight – For Free
Score an Extra Seat
If you're traveling as a party of two, choose one aisle seat and one window seat in the same row.
If only the middle seat is empty, it's unlikely that another passenger will deliberately choose to sit
there if other options are available. When you board the plane, you may find yourself with an
extra seat between the two of you. If someone does choose that middle seat, that passenger will
usually be happy to trade with one of you so you can both sit together.
Get Seat Alert
Just because you can't get a
seat today doesn't mean you
won't be able to grab it
tomorrow. But who has time
to check and re-check the
seating plan? This is where
ExpertFlyer comes in. The
website's Seat Alert feature
allows you to set up the
system to send you
notifications when the seats
you want become available.
