When’s the best day to buy airline tickets?

WASHINGTON — It’s getting cooler outside, which means the holidays are around the corner. And with the holidays, you may want to do some traveling — maybe to see family, maybe for a vacation.

Scott McCartney, a Middle Seat Columnist at the Wall Street Journal, says the weekend is the best time to look for airline tickets.

In his , McCartney cites Airlines Reporting Corp., which processes tickets for travel agencies.

The best day to buy airplane tickets is on Sundays, the data show. The average price was $432. At $439, Saturday’s average is also lower than Tuesday, which averages $497, McCartney wrote.

Also, there’s more international growth — and people are flying more — which has driven down the price on international rates.
