Here’s how to actually get cheap flights ✈️
Tuesdays and Wednesdays are usually the cheapest days to fly, but they’re not necessarily the cheapest days to buy your tickets. People mix those up all the time. It’s about the day you’re sitting in the plane seat, not the day you click purchase.
Bigger airports also tend to have better deals because of supply and demand. One of my favorite strategies is using a positioning flight.
That just means booking a separate flight to a larger airport before your main trip. It usually doesn’t even add extra flights. If you live somewhere smaller like Asheville, NC, you’re probably connecting through Chicago, New York, or Charlotte anyway before heading to Paris.
The difference is that booking separately can sometimes save hundreds or even thousands of dollars, especially in business class.
And yes, business class goes on sale too.
I regularly send business and first class deals for prices that can be the same as, or sometimes even cheaper than, economy. 👀
