Many people reserve seats on flights but don’t end up buying the tickets. Most of these reservations “auto-cancel” at midnight in the time zone where the airline is based – such as Eastern Time Zone for Delta (Atlanta) and Central Time Zone for American (Dallas) and United (Chicago). Searching between midnight and 1:00 a.m. in the appropriate time zone can mean grabbing those bargain seats before they go back into general inventory. Act fast because they may be gone in a matter of hours!
In general, sale prices usually come out in response to other airline promotions. Discounters like Southwest and Airtran usually launch sale fares on Tuesdays and other airlines tend to follow quickly. So you should also try looking late Tuesday morning and early Wednesday morning for great deals.
