Best day to buy airline tickets?
Is it Tuesday night or Wednesday night?
I have heard two different days. Given that this week is the last day for me to get the best price (I think) on Memorial weekend tickets I thought I would check to see what the Fodorites have to say.
I heard someone say that 3 a.m. is the best on Tuesday. I may need to set my clock!

I also read an article posted as a link on SmartTravel or airfarewatchdog that you should check rates early Sat. morning.
If you fly SW do you have Ding on your computer. Sunday we booked Cleveland to Chicago for $25 each way for Memorial weekend. SW is running Ding specials now for May.

Wisdom is Tues. night/Wed.morning midnight to 1 am in the time zone of the airline's home base.

In addition to FareCompare, look at http://www.Farecast.com The NY Times travel section had a good article on this last weekend.
