Question 1

When is the best time to book a domestic US flight?

Accepted Answer

For most domestic routes, three to eight weeks before departure gives the steadiest prices. Holiday weeks and spring break should be booked two to three months out.

Question 2

Which days are cheapest to fly inside the US?

Accepted Answer

Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday departures are usually the cheapest. Friday and Sunday afternoons carry the highest business and weekend demand.

Question 3

Are one-way tickets more expensive than round trips?

Accepted Answer

On US domestic routes one-way fares are normally half of a round trip, so mixing airlines on each leg is often cheaper than one round-trip booking.

Question 4

Do these route guides show live prices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each guide runs a live search across 500+ airlines when you open it, and the from-price shown here is the last cached fare we saw for that city pair.

Question 5

Can I hold a fare while I decide?

Accepted Answer

Call 1-800-518-9067 and a Faresterminal expert can quote the route, explain the fare rules and hold the itinerary where the airline allows it.

Question 6

What is included in a basic economy fare?

Accepted Answer

Usually a personal item and a seat assigned at check-in. Carry-on bags, seat selection and changes normally cost extra, so compare the total price, not just the headline fare.
