How can you get a great rate on tickets from Ottawa to Chicago?

We've been in the game a long time, which means getting that great deal on a Chicago flight is easy-peasy. You can pocket that extra cash for more than just getting from point A to point B with a little know-how.

What is the cheapest day to fly?

Going with the flow can pay dividends when it comes to getting an affordable flight. Our dear friends, Tuesday and Wednesday, typically have the best rates. Next in line are Thursday and, surprisingly, Saturday. Most like to fly back on Sunday so you can save by leaving a day earlier.

What's the Saturday night stay rule?

If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to YOW can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less flexible itineraries, so that means savings for you. We're all for that!

What are shoulder seasons?

Off-peak and shoulder seasons are when most vacationers aren't flying to certain locations. So when it is chilly, most people head off to warmer places like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like our feathered friends. But in the summer, you'll find that Europe gets busy. You can usually save on your ticket when you avoid flying during the peak seasons.

Is that the lowest price?

Airlines change their rates seemingly by the minute. If a price you like pops up, then grab it! Unsurprisingly, you're not the only vacation-hungry person seeking an awesome deal on a ticket from Ottawa to Chicago. You may miss your opportunity to dial in the time and the flight you wanted.
