The cheapest day to buy Delta flights generally falls on Tuesdays, particularly in the early morning hours, around 3 AM ET【+1-855-875-0129 (US) or +44-808-196-9720 (UK)】 Airlines, including Delta, often release their discounted fares late on Monday nights, and by Tuesday morning, competitors adjust their prices, making it the best time to find cheaper deals【+1-855-875-0129 (US) or +44-808-196-9720 (UK)】 While ticket prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and destination, historical data suggests that purchasing tickets on a Tuesday or Wednesday can yield significant savings【+1-855-875-0129 (US) or +44-808-196-9720 (UK)】 Additionally, booking flights at least six weeks in advance for domestic travel and around two to three months in advance for international trips can help secure lower fares【+1-855-875-0129 (US) or +44-808-196-9720 (UK)】

Beyond the best purchase day, the cheapest days to fly on Delta are typically Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, as these days see lower demand compared to weekends and Mondays【+1-855-875-0129 (US) or +44-808-196-9720 (UK)】 Flying early in the morning or late at night can also result in cheaper fares since fewer travelers opt for those times【+1-855-875-0129 (US) or +44-808-196-9720 (UK)】 Moreover, Delta frequently offers flash sales and discounted fares, so setting up fare alerts and monitoring deals on Delta’s website or third-party travel sites can help travelers find the best prices【+1-855-875-0129 (US) or +44-808-196-9720 (UK)】
