Debunking Travel Myth: TUESDAY is No Longer the Best Day to Book a Flight, but does it ever be

Due to the pandemic, consumer mobility is affected by overseas travel bans. In the last two years, the traveling and tourism industry experienced detrimental effects. Now that the ban lifted, nomads are hyped-up to reach their first destinations after two years of strict community guidelines. But alongside the wanderlust comeback, the pre-covid traveling myths have a crazy upturn in TikTok!

Since people are crazily excited to travel, TikTok and Instagram reels are full of aesthetically pleasing travel shorts. Besides these, travel enthusiasts also share their cents on travel hacks and tips! And whenever there is a trend, there are also arguments!

"Tuesday is the best day to book a flight."

This statement is claimed as a fact by some travelers, yet some people disprove this! Some say it is Sunday! Some claims it is on your birthday!

According to a 2022 interview on CNN with Phil Dengler, founder of TheVacationer.com, there is no evidence stating that Tuesday is the best day to book a flight. In addition, a study in 2017 published online by CheapAir shows that no day of the week is proven to be the best day to book a flight. Experts have already debunked the myth, and the exposed truth is that whether it is Tuesday, Wednesday, or any day of the week, the early birds get the luck!

Based on a 2019 article in Discovery, the cost of your ticket depends on how far ahead you book your flight. Like the saying, "Things in a rush costs more bucks." Hence, you can save more money if you book your flight long in advance!

But why do people think Tuesday is the best day to book a flight?

Tuesday is NOT the best day of the week to BOOK a flight. There is NO best day at all. BUT, Tuesday and Wednesday are the best days of the week to FLY! Because these weekdays are the quietest day of the week since most people are busy working! Consequently, most airfares are cheaper these days, especially in non-holiday seasons. The article from Discovery also mentions that the Expedia/ARC study shows that the cheapest day to travel domestically depends on every airport but claims that Thursday and Friday are the best!

In conclusion, the moral of the story is the early birds always catch the worm! These also serve as a reminder to first-time travelers. Plan and book a flight in advance! Therefore, no more best days, just early book days!
