We mostly fly United out of Newark, and I've found that there is no certain day of the week when the prices are lowest. On our last trip, the Sunday price was the best - much lower than the following day. If your scheduling is flexible, go to the airline's site and research the basic time period when you want to go. On United, you can do a calendar search for the entire year (for the dates that they've released) and see how widely the fares vary. After we've found airfare, then we decide on accommodations.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

It’s coincidental that I was searching for future dates today on the JB web-site. As a timeshare visitor I still often exercise my options as to the day of the week I fly, even though it often means I come a day earlier or later or fly home a few days later, renting extra days to do this and make it all work. The particular week I was looking at would have allowed me to fly home to NYC on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, all for the same lowest fair. I was quite surprised because I thought Friday would have been closer to the weekend pricing but after reading this I rechecked and it’s still listed at the lowest price along with Wednesday and Thursday.

I have always found Tuesday,Wednesday Thursday and sometimes Sunday to be the best days for lowest prices on airfare. Also the fares change around 2:00 AM on Wednesday so since I am a night hawk, I have locked in great fares at that time. They have always got higher after that. At least this has been my experience. However, I have also got good fares only booking two weeks in advance when they want to fill the plane. Sometimes there is just no rhyme or reason for airline pricing!

........... Sometimes there is just no rhyme or reason for airline pricing! I more or less agree, Elizabeth, but I might change that to read “most times.........”
