Air travel is faster, the journey is not tiresome and this saves us a lot of travel time. Sometimes though, one does feel that the cost of air travel is expensive. But, by planning and choosing the correct time to purchase the ticket, the fares will work out cheaper. Information suggests that once the location of the head office of a particular airline is known, the best time and the day to purchase a ticket for traveling in that airline is between midnight to 1 am on Wednesday. Consider the example of American Airlines. The head office of American airline is in Fort Worth, Texas. Hence, the right time to purchase a ticket for traveling by American airline is between midnight and 1 am on Wednesday in Texas.

It is found that the cost of an air ticket varies depending on when the ticket is purchased. The airlines will charge a higher fare for a ticket booked a day or two prior the date of journey compared to a booking that is done weeks in advance. It is found that a ticket booked 2 months or up to 21 days before the date of journey works out to be the cheapest fare one can get. When a person has to undertake a journey which can be pre-planned like vacations, holidays in college or functions to attend and so on, it is best to make such advance bookings. One should visit web-sites of different airlines to avail discounts in fares based on routes, time of the year for travel, vacation offers and so on.
