    Cheapest day to fly?

    Just wondering if there is a specific day that is generally cheaper to fly on than others?

    For budget airlines, it seems to be usually Tuesday / Wednesday (clear either side of [long] weekend breaks abroad) . . . the inhospital houred flights as well (say 6:20am or 23:20pm etc.)....

    An hours flight round a hospital? It would have to be cheap.
    They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them.

    it depends on where your going.

    I've found that going too visit my perants via newquay airport, sunday is a great day too go down from london. I'm guessing this because lots of people want too return late on sunday, but few want too start a holiday on a sunday.

    Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are good. But it really does seam too depend on the direction i've found (flying too newquay... train takes 6 hours)

    We're looking into flights for our trip to Thailand later in the year and just trying to save as much as possible. Thanks for your help.

    Best bet it to wander into your local STA Travel - they have instant pricing on stuff like that and will probably offer you a competitive deal.

    Alternatively BA allow you to view the min price/day on their website. When you select a day, it shows all flights to that location on that day, and their corresponding prices.

    Unless you have brand loyalty, you might also consider Thai airlines. I flew with them, and the service onboard was far better than the OneWorld / Star Alliance operators.
