, the latest data from a booking site,

, found that Sundays are now the cheapest days to book tickets.
According to its findings, passengers who book on Sundays can save up to 6 percent on domestic flights, as well as 17 percent on international travel.This comparison can be seen when compared with orders on Monday or Friday.
Airlines now change prices more frequently rather than offering big sales in one day.
So if flight tickets sell quickly, the price may go up (no matter if it’s Sunday or Tuesday).On the other hand, if sales are slow or sluggish, it is possible that the price may drop randomly in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, a Vertigo Ski travel expert, suggested that before ordering tickets, you should pay more attention to when you are traveling and how far the distance is.According to him, these factors have a more significant impact on ticket prices.
Usually the best time to book tickets is around one to three months before departure.Booking for a year ahead is often not the cheapest option.
However, last minute bookings in just a matter of days can even make prices worse, especially for busy routes.

suggests it’s best to book tickets about one to three months in advance for short-haul trips, while it’s roughly two to six months in advance for many international flights.
So far, the most reliable method for getting cheaper prices is to book plane tickets early, especially during busy seasons such as Christmas, New Year or mid-February.

Also analyzing, domestic departures for Saturdays often offer the cheapest fares, while Thursdays are thought to offer the cheapest prices for international travel.
The pattern is, most people want to fly on Friday (after work) or Sunday (before returning to work), this makes ticket prices expensive.
In conclusion, there is no myth about the cheapest day to book flight tickets.Basically, ticket prices continue to change every day according to current conditions.
However, there is a chance to get cheap prices with certain strategies, for example by checking the departure time and distance, and ordering tickets at the right time before traveling.
