The best airfares, weekday or weekends, hotels and food

Weekend Flights

Many people choose to fly at the weekend. 

Weekday Flights

As a result, on Singapore Airlines at least, weekday flights are cheaper. 

Many people prefer to fly overnight on long night flights. That way the passenger can have a full day at work or on holiday. Travel to the airport outside rush hour when it is stress-free, quicker, less likely to make you miss your flight or miss time to change money and rest in the airport lounge. 

Daytime Flights

As a result, we found this month when we looked at prices online, the daytime flights are cheaper.

Hotels Midweek

Hotels are the reverse, at least business hotels. They are occupied during the week. 

Hotels at Weekend

Hotels often offer better deals at weekends. 3rd night free. 

Museum Closure

Some museums are closed Mondays. 

Museum Free

Occasionally a museum is free to visit on a Sunday or one day a week.

Shop Around

If you can combine the two options, travelling midweek, but staying in the city at weekends, you might make good use of your allocated funds.

Book Fast

Often the aircraft has an allocation of a limited number of seats in economy. First come, first served. So to be sure of a deal, when you see it, make up your mind. Know your preferred options before you go online.

Sometimes it helps to have two computers or two pages open, so you can get back to the best deal in a hurry, after checking elsewhere.
