A travel expert has revealed the best days of the week to fly to secure a cheap flight.
Dawn Morwood, co-director of Cheap Deals Away, says travelling on two specific days will help tourists save money.
The expert reveals that flying mid-week could help travellers snap up a bargain flight.
Dawn says: ‘Tuesday and Wednesday departures are almost always cheaper than weekend flights.’
Many travellers try to maximise their time away by flying at the weekend so prices are generally highest on Saturday.
If you can be flexible with your departure date, it’s worth checking the price of your flight across different days.
Dawn also claims booking a flight at the earliest date possible isn’t always the best way to save money.
She told the Express: ‘I’ve seen people book flights ten months early thinking they’ve got a bargain, only to watch the same route drop by £200 per person just weeks before departure.

‘Airlines use dynamic pricing, which means they’re constantly adjusting based on demand predictions.’
But the expert adds that booking a flight last-minute is also a risky way to travel.
She explains that tourists could face ‘inflated prices’ and ‘limited availability’ as well as being forced to ‘compromise’ on ‘accommodation quality’ if they book late.
The ideal time to book a short-haul flight to Europe is six to eight weeks before departure, according to Dawn.
When it comes to a long-haul flight, it’s best to book eight to 12 weeks ahead of travelling.
