Does the day you fly really matter?
How much can I save by flying on the cheapest day?
On most European routes, the price difference between the cheapest and most expensive day of the week is 15–35%. On longer routes like London to Dubai or New York, the spread is typically smaller (8–18%) but the absolute saving is larger in pounds.
Is Tuesday always cheapest?
The "fly on Tuesday" advice is a generalisation that applies to some US domestic routes. For UK to Europe flights, Wednesday and Thursday are often cheapest — but it varies significantly by route, airline, and time of year. TripHunt uses actual price history for your specific route rather than general rules.
What about the return leg — does that matter too?
Yes. Return fares are priced as a combined outbound + return. The cheapest combination is usually a midweek departure with a Sunday or Monday return, avoiding Friday and Saturday in both directions. Use the compare tool to check different date combinations.
Does this include error fares?
Error fares appear on any day of the week — they're pricing mistakes, not scheduled discounts. For error fare alerts, set a price alert on TripHunt. We monitor this route around the clock and notify you the moment an error fare appears.
