why would day of purchase affect ticket prices?

403 viewsOther

Today I was advised not to buy flight tickets on a weekend, but wait to until mid-week as they’d be cheaper?

Not cheaper because of the day of actual departure, because of the day of purchase.

Colleague swore that travel for the same dates by plane would be cheaper if I bought tickets on a Wednesday instead of a Friday/Saturday.

Is that bullshit or is that real? And why?

I never understood how this works, but it’s real. I gave up and just started tracking flights through google, if it’s enough in advance. At a certain point, I found it to be a waste of time to track them myself. Since it never works the “same way” every time
