Picking mid-week flight times is a great way to save money while traveling. Instead of flying on the weekend, choose mid week dates for your departure and arrival flights. Not only will your tickets be cheaper, you’ll usually be able to avoid the hassle of crowded airports.

yes you are right. Weekends would definitely cost the trip more expensive.

Planning in advance to book a trip also saves money as we can find best travel deals.

I got a Sunday departure - Jan.1st for cheap - Seat Sale Qatar, but in general yes it's cheaper during the week... if you are flexible with your dates you can really have some great savings.

I don't believe in booking hotels online in advance, that's not the way I travel. Most low budget travellers stay in inexpensive guesthouses they find on the spot or just couchsurf. Going to SEA for most people is not a one or two week all inclusive vacation when coming from Europe or North America. It's 2 - 3 months.
