Why you should never book a flight on a Friday
<p>If you’re looking to book an international flight, don’t do it on a Friday.</p>
<p>That’s the suggestions from Expedia and the Airlines Reporting Corporation research, which show that if you were to wait and book your flight on Sunday you could save as much as 13 per cent.</p>
<p>The study took into account the ticket booking habits of more than 10 billion air passengers.</p>
<p>Why are tickets more expensive on a Friday?</p>
<p>Well, the analyses suggests that weekend days are the top days for leisure travel ticket purchases, whereas business travel, which is more expensive, is most often purchased during the week.</p>
<p>Greg Schulze, senior vice president, global tour and transport, at Expedia, said: “Analysing these massive data sets with our partners at ARC gives us smart insights that we can pass along to travellers. And travellers benefit because even small, simple insights in the booking process – what time of year or day of week to book, for example – can yield significant savings.”</p>
