HOTEL ROOMS:   4:00 p.m. local time on a Sunday is the best time to book a room.  Call the hotel direct and ask to speak with the manager on duty NOT the 800 number or reservations.  Tell the manager you're shopping for a good room rate and ask what you can do at this establishment

AIR TRAVEL  Farecompare.com says that the cheapest fares are usually  at 2p.m. on a Tuesday. Most major airlines  announce their sales on Monday nights, and this triggers other airlines to try and match those discounted prices on Tuesdays. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays are usually the cheapest days to fly with the earliest  flight in the day being the most cost effective followed by lunchtime or dinnertime.
