Book at the right time

Leisure travellers often book over the weekend, when they have more time to plan. However, by early in the week, business travel schedules are usually confirmed or adjusted, which can free up rooms. As a result, by around Tuesday, availability is often clearer, and booking websites may reduce prices to fill those spaces for near-term bookings.
