Guess what? It turns out that early in the week is the best time to score the cheapest plane tickets.

Booking your plane ticket on the weekend also seems to score pretty good deals.

How far in advance can you book a flight?
Trying to figure out how early you should book your flight? It’s possible to start comparing international airfares on Wotif up to 12 months in advance.
