Is Tuesday actually the best day to buy plane tickets?

It’s a rumor that we’re sure you’ve seen circling around the internet or heard from family and friends for years — so why are we now hearing that Sunday is the day to buy plane tickets for cheap?

Do either of these days even matter when it’s the holiday season? What about summer vacation season? What about international flights and that sweet last-minute pricing? Is flying ever really “cheap?”

(It’s the persistent sameness of hotels. Such repetition and ubiquity tends to trigger an existential crisis spiral where you begin to question how everything can be so different and yet all the same, like two mirrors that reflect an image ad infinitum, and really what IS anything when you get down to the nitty gritty minutiae of existence, ya know?
