I finally learned to book flights on Tuesdays
My buddy saved $120 on a Chicago round-trip just by waiting two days. Tried it myself for a Denver trip last month and got $90 off. Anyone else test this or is it just luck?

Honestly that's awesome you're seeing real savings! I tried the Tuesday thing for a trip to Austin back in March and got $75 off compared to what I'd been checking on Saturday. The trick that really sealed it for me was setting up price alerts on a couple different sites so I could see when the Tuesday dips actually happened. For my Denver trip last month I also cleared my cookies before searching and honestly I think that helped too. Ngl it felt kinda silly at first but saving real money on flights makes me want to keep doing it.

Haha, "I finally learned to book flights on Tuesdays" - that's like finding out there's a secret level in the game of life. I tried this once for a trip to Seattle and, I mean, I saved like $50 but then I forgot to factor in that my luggage was basically a small car so the savings went right out the window. Idk maybe it's just me but my luck with flight deals is like my luck with parking spots: the cheap one is always three blocks further than I thought. Still, $90 off a Denver trip sounds solid, so maybe I just need to actually follow the rules instead of impulse-booking at midnight with a beer in hand.
