Q. I've read that the best time of the week to buy airfares is Tuesday. What hour of the day on Tuesday is ideal?
A. Actually, Airfarewatchdog.com doesn't subscribe to the "Tuesday is fare day" theory. We're writing this on a Friday on which several airlines announced new sales, and United launched some amazing unadvertised fares for $160 round-trip coast to coast (that's with tax). The best day to buy fares is when they hit rock bottom on the route you want to fly, and that could be any minute of the week.

continual downsizing of domestic seats flown over the last several quarters as the airlines first had to cope with fuel prices then more recently with the drop in air travel demand related to the economic recession.
Of course not all seat cutbacks are created equal with some cities incurring the brunt of the downsizing and the follow on of higher airline ticket prices, while passengers in a handful of other cities who have gained seats have hit the jackpot on cheap tickets as both low cost and legacy airlines do battle over a handful of routes
