Tried booking a flight for a Tuesday instead of a Friday to Mexico City

Honestly, the price dropped by almost $200 round trip. I always just picked weekends out of habit. Has anyone found a specific day that's usually cheapest for international flights?

My cousin flies to London for work a lot and swears by Tuesday afternoons. I started checking then for my trips to Europe and it's been solid for me, saving around 150 bucks most times. It's not a magic rule, but airlines do update their sales midweek. The key is being flexible. If you can leave on a Tuesday or Wednesday, you're almost always beating the Friday crowd.

Is that really a reliable pattern though? I've seen prices jump around randomly no matter the day.

Ugh, I feel you on that. It can seem totally random sometimes. I tried tracking it for a month and saw no real logic. The patterns people talk about online just don't hold up for every game or item. It feels like luck more than a real strategy.
