Use Google Flights to Find the Cheapest Days to Fly

The Problem

You're flexible on dates but don't know which days are cheapest.

The Hack

Go to Google Flights. Enter your route. Click 'Date Grid' or 'Price Graph' to see prices across a range of dates. The cheapest days are highlighted.

Why It Works

Flight prices vary dramatically by day — sometimes $100+ difference between a Tuesday and Saturday. Google Flights visualizes this instantly so you can pick the cheapest option.

Pro Tips

• Flying Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday is usually cheapest
• Avoid Friday and Sunday — highest demand days
• The 'Explore' feature shows cheapest destinations from your city
• Set price tracking alerts for your preferred route and dates
