Most last minute travel and business travel are between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm. Travelling at these times is a premium on your fare. Air travellers who book their flight departing and landing at undesirable times of the day will get a better priced air fare.
The red eye is the better price. Leave late and land early in the morning. Just remember to get some sleep on the plane because you will have a long day ahead of you.
Taking flights at odd time works best for personal travel as you have more flexibility. If you are buying air fare and hotel accommodations are arranged you will want to know the check-in time of the hotel. You may have to wait hours before you can get into your room. Plan this part of your day so you are doing something worth while other than standing around waiting for your room to be ready. You can store your luggage with concierge. Now that the flight is out of the way and you want to save even more money just think if you know someone at your destination to accommodate your stay.
Staying with relatives or friends at your destination is a good way to save even more money. Organise your arrival with who you are staying with, so you might get picked-up and they know your flight information to check on your status. When I stay with relatives or friends,... I always leave a parting gift and buy dinner or take them out. Don't be cheap,...you know what hotels cost.
Travelling at extreme times of the day will certainly save you on your air fare. If you are flexible with your travel arrangement then go for it. Keep in mind that you are arriving early in the morning,...so make arrangements accordingly.
