And the Absolute Cheapest Day to Fly is ... Wednesday

Yes, Wednesday is the very cheapest day to fly throughout the U.S. and Canada, but we're not content with just "telling" you - we back it up with airline statistics and FareCompare's own charts and analysis so you can see for yourself. Plus, we tell you what the two other cheapest days to fly are, which allows you to plan your vacation and save as much money as possible. Learn the multiple ways you can apply this knowledge toward your next airfare purchase.

And now that you know the cheapest days to fly, it only makes sense that we'd provide you with a list of great destinations complete with the real-time prices from your home airport - so that's exactly what we've done. Check out today's deals from your airport - to wherever you want to go.

And once you get to the airport, we know you'll keep your cool going through that tedious security line, but some people don't - which puts them on a little-known TSA list of angry passengers. Oh, and angry TSA screeners also make this list, as do other airport employees. Not to belabor the obvious, but courtesy pays, plus it might even get you through security more quickly.

A Note from Rick Air Travel Strategies for the Unexpected

This has been a challenging year for travelers, thanks to volcanic ash, sporadic violence in Mexico and Jamaica, and now - an oil spill. And you never know when problems can arise.

Not to worry; I've got some surprisingly simple air traveler's strategies that can help you make the most of any trip, even when the unexpected happens - well, especially when the unexpected happens.

For example, did you know that hotels on Florida's gulf coast are offering all kinds of incentives to get you there, and vouchers for future visits in case oil ruins the beach? As they say, know before you go - and we have plenty more tips that can help.

And please know that at FareCompare, we always have your back.
