Last Saturday, January 4, was billed as Sunshine Saturday by travel agents who saw a surge in bookings. And experts have revealed that timing is everything when it comes to booking a trip abroad. While some will have already signed on the dotted line and are dreaming of jetting off to sunnier climes, there are certain days when it's better to book if you're looking for a bargain .
And the advice from those in the know is to book on a Tuesday for the best deals. This is because many airlines , hotels, and rental companies release their special offers and promotional deals at the beginning of the week, typically on Monday evenings or Tuesday mornings. One reason for this is that most people start planning their trips on weekends, and by Monday, they have a better idea of when and where they want to travel.
To attract these potential customers, airlines and hotels sometimes release discounted rates. “Airlines specifically use revenue management systems that analyse demand and adjust prices accordingly,” explains Fred Harrington, CEO at Coupon Mister . “These systems typically run on Mondays and Tuesdays, so the lowest fares are often released early in the week and disappear quickly as more people book.
