What Are the Cheapest Days to Fly Round Trip From the USA to Ireland?

Booking a flight overseas is often the most expensive part of enjoying a vacation to Ireland. During peak season, you can spend more than $1,000 on just one airline ticket. If you are traveling with family or friends, it is important to know where to find the best deals so you can have extra money to spend when abroad. If you travel on certain days during the week or specific times of year, you can save hundreds of dollars on your airfare to Ireland.

Wednesday

Regardless where you are going, Wednesday is the cheapest day of the week to travel because many people do not leave for vacation or come home midweek. Therefore it is harder to sell seats, so airlines offer lower rates on these days. It is also cheap to book flights to Ireland on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Timing

The time of day you travel also affects the price of your flight. If you take early morning flights you will save money on your fare. There are a number of comparative travel Web sites you can use to check the best times for the lowest fares.

Season

Ireland is most ideal during the summer months because the days are longer, the weather is warmer and more attractions have extended hours. But, it is less expensive to travel during off-peak months November through March.
