One final tip: no matter what day or time you are aiming to depart, try to book your flight on Tuesday as airlines often release sales starting from Monday night or Tuesday morning.
The Huffington Post and AirHelp observed that the highest amount of delays occurred on Monday and Friday, with Friday carrying the highest probability of a delay (almost 30%).
Skyscanner has also created a Savings Generator tool to show travellers the average monthly price of their desired flight and advise them on the best time to book flights to popular destinations from the UK.
The Huffington Post in partnership with AirHelp, an air claim support website, conducted a probability study to determine what time of day flights are most likely to be delayed.
In comparison, Monday had a 25% probability of delay and Saturday has the lowest probability of delay across the week (18%).
