Cheap Flight Day: Why scoring a deal is more about strategy than the calendar

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — This Saturday is National Cheap Flight Day, a so-called “holiday” that promises travelers big savings on airfare.

At Harry Reid International Airport, travelers told Channel 13 they don’t rely on a single day for discounts.

Another traveler added, “If I book it early enough, I definitely save money.”
