$29 Airfares? Now You See It - Now Your Don't

Airlines are doing everything they can to fill their planes. Did you know that they constantly monitor reservations activity and manipulate prices based on how fast the plane is filling up or whether ticket sales are slow? Recently airlines are coming out with many lower fares that are terrific deals but only good on individual flights and not part of a formal airfare sale. Once they see that ticket sales are up and the plane is filling, they quickly remove that great deal. Some super low fares may only be around for a day or two.

Today, even without these unbelievably low airfares popping up, travel is general priced at a bargain. Enterprises need travel in order to maintain and grow the business, and this is the best time to take care of business with these lower airfares.

When are you more likely to see these drastically lower fares? In general, on late morning and early afternoon flights. Flights that are early in the morning or late in the afternoon are most popular and not as likely to be drastically reduced.  And “fare gurus” will tell you that the best days to book your reservations when you are likely to see these lower fares are Tuesday and Wednesday.

Travel-On utilizes applications that provide analysis of which time of day and day of week will most likely result in the lowest fares. This is particularly useful when planning meetings or groups. Talk to your Travel-On account manager to learn more.
