Are Hotels Cheaper During the Week or Weekend?

If you ever have flexible dates for your travels, you might be wondering if it would be cheaper for you to book during the week rather than on a weekend.

We were very curious about this question as well so we analyzed nearly 3,000 data points to see what type of results we would find!

Below, I will break down the findings and tell you what you need to know about booking hotels during the week vs on the weekend.

Are hotels cheaper during the week?

After reviewing 2,800 data points for major US hotel chains, we found that the cheapest day of the week to stay at a hotel was Sunday, while Saturday was the most expensive.

To give you a sense of how much you could save, we ranked just how much cheaper every day of the week was compared to Saturday below:

  • Saturday: most expensive
  • Friday (3% cheaper)
  • Tuesday (3% cheaper)
  • Wednesday (4% cheaper)
  • Thursday (7% cheaper)
  • Monday (8% cheaper)
  • Sunday (15% cheaper)

There are a few key takeaways for these findings.

Different chains

Saturday was the most expensive day for Hilton, Hyatt, and IHG. Interestingly, Tuesday was the most expensive day for Marriott.

Sunday was the cheapest day for all of the chains except for Hilton which had its cheapest day on Monday (Sunday was just barely more expensive than Monday for Hilton).

Single day stays

If you were just planning on staying a single day during the week, you may want to watch out for Tuesdays since it compares to the prices found on Friday which can be pretty high.

Multi-day stays

If you were chasing the lowest rates then an ideal five night itinerary could be beginning your stay on Sunday and checking out on Friday morning.

I’ll show you an example so you can see how much you could save.

Let’s say that a Saturday night rate at a luxury hotel was $600 and that the prices for the other days of the week followed the same pattern as the data above.

If you checked in on a Sunday and checked out on Friday you would spend $2,244.94.

But let’s say that you checked in on a Friday and then checked out on Wednesday, you would spend $2,779.08.

So by starting your trip on Sunday, you would save $534.14. Not bad.

Of course, not every hotel follows this pattern and we dive deeper into the price trends below.

Rates almost always change throughout the week

Most of the time, a hotel will have different rates for different days of any given week.

In fact, of the 2,800 data points we looked at, only about 7% of the hotels did not change price throughout the week. (Interestingly, most of the hotels that did not change price belonged to the IHG chain.)

On average, a given week had about five days with different prices. So for example Monday and Tuesday could be the same but every other day of the week would have a unique price.

This doesn’t come as a big surprise as many hotels use sophisticated software to set the prices and we have even seen prices fluctuate by the hour.

The average price fluctuation that we saw between the cheapest and most expensive days of the week was $83.

So for the most part, the fluctuations during the week and on the weekends were not that bad.

However, they are still worth paying attention to for a couple of reasons.

First, about a quarter of the fluctuations were over $110, which can definitely add up.

Also, some hotels had pretty huge fluctuations during the week like The Adolphus, Autograph Collection which jumped up over $600 for a Friday and Saturday.

Typically, you would think that the big fluctuations would happen on the weekends when the prices tend to go up in general.

But that was not always the case.

For example, the The Blackstone, Autograph Collection made a pretty big jump on Monday and Tuesday of almost $400 per night.

Usually, these fluctuations would be caused by some kind of local event taking place, although it was not always easy to verify that.

These wild fluctuations are why it’s always good to search with all of your actual travel dates and to compare your proposed travel dates to other dates.

When going for searching efficiency, it can be tempting to simply choose a single date that falls within your travel date range and base your hotel expenses on that.

But that can often backfire if you are not accounting for the fluctuating prices throughout the week. You never know if one or two days have huge spikes.

Also, don’t just search for your travel dates because then you won’t know if other dates don’t have the same fluctuations. I’ve saved myself hundreds of dollars on trips just by swapping out one day for another.

Try to use the calendar view on the hotel’s website if you can.

Leisure travel versus business travel

I’ve always been told that hotels that cater to business travelers will be more expensive during the week and those that cater towards leisure travelers will be more expensive during the weekend.

It certainly makes sense as that is the time when each of those respective groups tend to travel.

But it’s not always so simple.

For one, lots of properties cater to both crowds and it can be difficult to designate a property as primarily business or primarily leisure. Unless you’re very familiar with a specific brand or property, making this determination may not be practical.

So personally, I would just focus on searching for properties that you are interested in and not necessarily chasing business or leisure hotels based on their perceived categories.

Then there is the king bed vs two queen beds comparison.

Typically, a business traveler would probably prefer a king bed while a family traveling would prefer two queen beds.

Therefore, you would think that two queen beds could be more expensive than a king bed at leisure property on the weekend. Also, two queen beds could be cheaper during the week at a hotel for business travelers.

During our research, we did not classify rooms as queen or king so we did not test this out but it might be worth looking into. I know that many times I have seen the prices as the same for both king and queen bedrooms so at some hotels the pricing may not be affected.

Final recommendations

So after considering all of the data, here would be my recommendations.

Overall, you can usually expect Saturday to be the most expensive day of the week and for Sunday or Monday to be the cheapest.

If you’re staying during the week then you can expect Thursday to be your best bet at getting a cheaper rate and watch out for Tuesdays because those can be pretty expensive.

But just remember prices can dramatically jump up on any day of the week.

While these trends will probably hold out to be true in most cases, when it comes to an individual booking, you just need to check your actual travel dates and compare those to others to see if you are getting hit with a big fluctuation.

Data

Below you can find all of the data that we used in the study. The room rates are the cheapest available room rates we found which were almost always a basic king or queen room.

We selected hotels from the four major chains: Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, and IHG. Also, we made sure to include a variety of different brands within those chains so that we included a large variety of room rate prices.

New Study Reveals Most Bathroom Friendly Airlines in the US

Going to the bathroom during a fight is unfortunately not the most pleasant experience for most people.

In a January 2023 poll of the general public, UponArriving found that 74% of respondents “actively avoid” going to the bathroom during flights and 70% acknowledged using the bathroom during a flight was a “stressful” experience.

Considering that as many as 30% of men and 40% of women in the US deal with with overactive bladder symptoms, these numbers are worth paying attention to.

Knowing which airlines, and more importantly which aircraft, have the best ratios of seats to lavatories can help you decrease the odds of having to wait to access the bathroom during a flight.

So to give travelers some insight, we analyzed the ratios of seats to lavatories for major US airlines, focusing on economy cabins in narrow body and regional aircraft.

Most bathroom friendly airlines in the US

The key findings

When trying to select a more bathroom friendly aircraft as an economy passenger, the biggest factor is usually whether or not the economy cabin has two or three lavatories.

JetBlue outperformed a lot of the other airlines because some of the aircraft like the Airbus A321Neo and Airbus A321 Classic actually have four lavatories for their all-economy aircraft, while all of their other narrow body aircraft have three for economy passengers.

Alaska was also a front runner as they operate several aircraft with three bathrooms for economy passengers including the Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737-900.

Some aircraft like the 737-700 may only have one lavatory in the front and one in the back, which makes them one of the least bathroom friendly aircraft. Southwest Airlines relies heavily on this aircraft which is why they were ranked at the back.

In terms of the overall numbers, the average aircraft had a ratio of one bathroom for every 60 passengers.

Did you know? Most of the general public (65%) believes there are not enough bathrooms on planes.

The best and worst aircraft for bathrooms

The ratios don’t tell the whole story because location also matters.

The most bathroom friendly aircraft for economy passengers would typically be an aircraft with two lavatories in the back and one lavatory towards the middle or front of the economy cabin, allowing for the most convenient bathroom access.

Lavatories at the front of the economy cabin can be found on some Boeing 737MAX 9 aircraft. Some other aircraft like the Airbus A321-200 and Airbus A321neo may place a bathroom in the middle of the economy cabin, which might be the most convenient option of all.

Another important consideration when looking at these ratios is that some of the aircraft may fly on very short routes, so the need for more bathrooms is not as dire. This is the case with Delta’s alternate version of the Boeing 737-900ER, which has the worst seat-to-lavatory ratio.

With all of that said, here are the best and worst aircraft based on their ratios.

Boeing 737-800American78
Airbus A321neoFrontier80
Boeing 737-900ER (alt)*Delta83

Interestingly, you will find the Boeing 737-800 and Airbus A321-200 on both lists.

That just goes to show the difference of having an extra bathroom in the cabin. It also shows how the same aircraft can have a very different bathroom set up since airlines utilize different versions of the same aircraft.

Using First Class lavatories

In general, airlines want passengers to use the bathroom located within the cabin they are ticketed in. However, some airlines will allow economy passengers to use the first class bathrooms on domestic flights.

This is usually the case if:

  • Aisle access to the rear (aft) bathroom is blocked by a food/drink cart
  • You’re a passenger falling within a special group (e.g., you have a mobility issue)
  • There is an emergency bathroom situation

We contacted all of the major US airlines and JetBlue was the only major US airline that confirmed economy passengers could count on using “first class” lavatories. Given the seat-to-lavatory ratio ranking they have and this customer friendly policy, JetBlue is by far the most bathroom friendly airline in the US.

Note: US airlines are much more strict about the bathroom policies when flying back into the US on an international flight. On those flights, economy passengers may be prevented from using First Class lavatories.

Tips for when you need to go

  • Refrain from drinking lots of liquids including alcohol to reduce the need to go
  • Consider going to the bathroom as soon as you enter the plane (assuming you can deal with the foot traffic)
  • Avoid congregating near the lavatory at the front of the plane
  • You can go to the bathroom when the seatbelt light is on but you have to proceed at your own risk. If your flight attendants are seated or there is turbulence, you should remain in your seat.
  • Select an aisle seat near a bathroom for quick access

Methodology

In order to rank the most bathroom friendly airlines, we ranked airlines based on the ratio of economy seats to lavatories found in the economy cabin.

We determined a ratio for each type of aircraft used and then used a weighted average of the ratios based on the percent that each aircraft made up of the relevant fleet. For example, for Alaska, the Boeing 737-800 made up 20.7% of its fleet so the seat-to-bathroom ratio for the Boeing 737-800 made up 20.7% of the average for Alaska’s overall ratio.

If an airline had a designated first class cabin those seats and lavatories were excluded. However, if there was no lavatory in first class then those first class seats were included in the total since they would be accessing the same lavatory as economy. This only happened in a couple of instances.

Economy seats with extra legroom such as main cabin extra or economy plus were considered economy seats since they were located in the same cabin.

This study was designed to focus on the typical flying experience when flying within the continental US so we only focused on narrow body aircraft and smaller regional aircraft while excluding all wide bodies and aircraft used exclusively for international flights like JetBlue’s A321LR. The focus on continental US flights is why Hawaiian Airlines is not included. While some airlines do fly wide bodies on domestic routes (usually only longer routes), narrow body aircraft are used for the vast majority of domestic routes.

Also, wide body aircraft use on domestic routes can fluctuate dramatically in a short amount of time (see United) making it more difficult to get an accurate snapshot. If all wide body aircraft were considered, the rankings would likely be impacted. Regional aircraft belonging to regional airlines were counted under the major airlines they are associated with. The study did not factor in the daily frequency or daily mileage that each aircraft was used for due to the difficulty in obtaining and comparing that dynamic data.

On a couple of occasions, airlines had multiple versions of the same aircraft. If we were unable to find how many of each version were used by an airline or at least a close approximation, we averaged the seat count and lavatory count for all versions. These are indicated by an asterisk. This only happened on a few occasions and there were usually little to no discrepancies between the different aircraft versions.

Airline fleet data was taken from a variety of sources including official fleet pages from the airlines and also secondary sources. Fleet data changes very often and so the data in the study represents an approximate snapshot of a given fleet data near the end of 2022/beginning of 2023. Seat data and and lavatory data was taken primarily from official airline seat maps and SeatGuru. If data conflicted, we deferred to the official airline’s website. Where Wikipedia was relied upon for fleet information roundups, primary sources were checked for veracity.

Poll responses were based on a January 2023 poll of 348 respondents of the general public performed by Survey Monkey. Responses had a margin of error of +/- 5%.

Prepaid Parking at the Airport: How Much Can You Save?

If you regularly park at the airport you may have wondered questions like how much cheaper is the park-and-ride parking versus the airport terminal garage or is it worth it to reserve or pre-pay for your parking?

In this article, we took a look at the 35 busiest airports in the US to see what type of prepaid parking options they offer and whether or not those options would be worth it.

Below, we will break down some of the savings (and non-savings) that you may encounter when going the pre-paid route.

Prepaid parking at the airport worth it?

Prepaid parking at the airport can be worth it if the airport offers a discount or if finding an open spot can be challenging during busy times. In fact, looking at the 35 busiest airports in the US we found that discounted reservations for airport terminal parking garages could save you about 29%.

However, you need to be aware that some airports increase the price for reservations, slap on reservation fees, and have cancellation cut-offs 24 hours outside of your arrival time.

Keep reading below for more details!

What you need to know about prepaid airport parking

Some large airports don’t offer reservations

You would think that in the year 2023, all large airports would offer the ability to reserve parking spots.

Maybe it’s because parking is just not an issue for a lot of airports but after analyzing 35 of the busiest airports, we found that 34% of them did not offer reserved parking.

Personally, I’ve never struggled to find an open parking spot somewhere within the vicinity of a large airport, so reservations have never really been needed (we usually go for pretty early flights).

However, that may not always be the case at some airports and it might help you sleep at night knowing that you have a reserved spot at some of the busier airports.

Savings

About 40% of the 35 busiest airports advertise a discount for reserving or pre-paying for your parking in advance. Below are some examples of the savings that you can capture if you pre-pay for terminal parking.

AirportTerminal Daily RatePre-paid Rate
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)$60$35
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)$27$9.50
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)$60$36
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR)$40$29
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)$30$26
George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)$24$21
Minneapolis−Saint Paul International Airport (MSP)$30$28
LaGuardia Airport (LGA)$55$39
San Diego International Airport (SAN)$32$21
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)$29$26
Tampa International Airport (TPA)$20$18
Oakland International Airport (OAK)$24$19

As you can see, sometimes these can offer you some really good savings like at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and LaGuardia Airport (LGA).

At some of those airports, you could be saving close to 50% just by booking ahead!

At other airports, your terminal parking savings are probably going to just be a few bucks but can still add up especially on a longer trip.

The savings for park-and-ride reservations were not as common or dramatic as the savings for terminal parking. This was especially true for airports that charge you a reservation fee because the savings were already so slim.

Still, some of the rates dropped significantly like at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) where are the daily max rate dropped from $35 to $14 or at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) where it dropped from $12 to $4.50.

So don’t sleep on the savings for park-and-ride reservations!

Reservation fees

One thing to look out for when doing prepaid parking at an airport is a potential reservation fee. Sometimes these can be pretty insignificant but other times they can really eat into the savings.

At Austin–Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), going through the reservation process showed an $8 reservation fee.

Sometimes these reservation fees can be a lot smaller but still cut into the savings on a short trip.

For example, consider the uncovered economy parking at PHX that requires a tram to get you to the terminal. This goes for $14 per day but if you book online you can get a 14% discount but they force you to pay a $2 booking fee.

So if you were flying out for one night for a quick business trip, your total parking cost would be the same whether you reserved or were a drive up.

Another airport with a reservation fee is Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY).

Price goes up?

Believe it or not sometimes the price actually goes up whenever you pre-pay online.

For Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW), the parking reservation fee is $10 per space, per day. So not only would you be paying more but significantly more if you chose to reserve your parking.

This was the same situation at O’Hare International Airport (ORD), so there is something about those Chicago airports….

I suppose it could be worth it to pay more if these airport parking garages often fill up but most airports do not charge extra for reservations.

Airport parking reservations will cost you in Chicago.

Notice and Refunds

If you want to reserve your parking, chances are you will have to make your booking a certain amount of time in advance.

The different time windows we encountered were 24 hours, 12 hours, two hours, and one hour but each airport may have their own booking window.

The notice time frame does not always coincide closely with the cut-off for making a change or cancellation.

For example, JFK requires you to reserve 24 hours in advance but the cancellation policy states:

You may cancel your Booking at any time up to 1 hour before the beginning of the Booking Period (your Booking arrival time) and receive a full refund. There will be no refunds for changes made less than 1 hour before the beginning of the Booking Period (your Booking arrival time).

It seems that the cancellation deadline for your reservation may often be one to two hours prior to your scheduled arrival time but always check the terms and conditions of your booking to verify. Some may require you to make your changes 24 hours out.

Promo codes

Lots of airports have promo codes that you can enter to save. So it probably is worth doing a quick search to see if you can find any recent and currently valid promo codes.

Final word

Some airports offer some very good savings when pre-paying for your parking. As long as you are mindful of the deadlines for canceling or making changes those savings can definitely be worth it.

But don’t ever assume that just because you are reserving or pre-paying that you will actually be saving money as reservation fees and price increases can sometimes force you to pay more for your parking.

How Much Cheaper Are Airport Parking Garages vs Park-And-Ride Shuttles?

When you get to the airport, you have several options for parking — some that are more expensive and others that are much cheaper.

But have you ever wondered how much cheaper it is to park in one of the convenient terminal parking garages versus the park-and-ride?

We were curious so we analyzed the 35 busiest airports in the US to see what the price difference would be when utilizing an airport terminal parking garage versus an option that required a shuttle or tram.

Check out the results below!

How much cheaper are airport parking garages vs park-and-ride shuttles?

After analyzing the daily parking rates for terminal parking garages and park-and-rides at 35 of the largest airports in the US, we found that utilizing the park-and-ride was 47.6% cheaper on average.

Tip: Use the free app WalletFlo to help you travel the world for free by finding the best travel credit cards and promotions!

The Findings

The average terminal parking garage rate was $29.06 while the average park-and-ride rate was $15.21. So essentially you are paying double the price to park at terminal parking on average.

However, at some airports the price difference was significantly higher.

For example at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), the terminal parking was $24 but park-and-ride options could be as cheap as about $6.47. That’s a 270% increase!

The most expensive terminal parking rates were at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and LaGuardia Airport (LGA).

At these airports, you can expect to pay about $60 for daily rate parking as a drive-up. However, if you were to pre-pay for your parking you could greatly cut down your expense to around $35 to $39.

And as for the cheapest terminal parking, a couple of airports offered daily terminal parking for only $12.

Airport parking garage

Is airport terminal parking worth it?

When you consider that you will probably be paying about double for airport terminal parking, it really makes you wonder if it’s worth it or not?

Saving time

Lots of these airport terminal parking garages are located extremely close to the check in terminal.

Often you just have to take an elevator ride down and then a very short walk to get to where you need to be to check your bags and head through security.

This is a great option for people who constantly run late and are worried about potentially missing a flight.

Sometimes the shuttle buses from the parking lots may not be running on time or you may just miss one and have to wait which can be frustrating and stressful experience for some.

Related: How Early Should You Get to the Airport?

Convenience

In addition to saving time, it’s nice to be able to not worry about dealing with a shuttle bus.

It could be very uncomfortable getting stuffed into an overly packed shuttle bus and dealing with all of your luggage.

We once were waiting for a shuttle bus and were getting rained on at the same time. They packed up the shuttle bus as tight as they could which meant that it was full of a bunch of wet and miserable passengers making for a very uncomfortable ride.

Then there is the most valuable convenience element of all — being able to quickly get in your vehicle when you land and are completely exhausted from your travels.

Safety

While I don’t have hard data on the rates of crime on vehicles parked at park-and-ride lots versus parking garages, having your car in a park-and-ride lot means that your car is more exposed.

This could mean being more exposed to the elements and weather but also to potential criminals who may have easy access to the lot by simply slipping through a gate.

Airport parking garages require you to pass through a gate and to pay to get out which could act as a deterrent for some criminals. They also tend to have more traffic going in and out which makes them a less desirable target.

At the same time, the close quarters of a parking garage and the high volume of traffic could mean increased risk of getting your car dinged up.

Longer trips

If you’re taking a long trip that may be up to a couple of weeks or even longer than the terminal parking rates can start to get a bit crazy. Heck, even the park-and-ride total will be a couple of hundred dollars or more in a lot of cases.

With these type of extended trips, it can be more cost-effective to simply take a rideshare to the airport, even if you live quite a distance away from the airport.

Methodology

Terminal parking consisted of parking garage attached to airport facilities. These were the most convenient long-term parking options found at a given airport. If different prices were available for terminal parking, we chose the cheapest option. Also, we did not use daily prices for short term parking since those are typically designed for people parking for only a few hours.

Note that in some cases you could find a cheaper rate if you pre-pay for parking and this could result in some massive savings. Since not all airports offer pre-paid savings, we decided to use the drive-up rates for all parking garages.

Park-and-ride options were parking options that required a shuttle or tram to get to and from the parking lot. Once again, we went with the cheapest option which sometimes was an uncovered option. Most of the park-and-ride options were directly associated with the airport (e.g., bookable on the airport’s website) but on a couple of occasions we had to choose third-party providers. A later analysis will look at other park and ride options such as those offered by hotels and perhaps other third-party providers.

Final word

If you plan on taking advantage of the more convenient airport terminal parking versus utilizing a shuttle, you can expect to pay double the price on average.

Whether or not this will be worth it to you will just depend on how much you value your time and the convenience of not having to deal with a shuttle bus or tram. If you do go with airport terminal parking, look into prepaid options because those might be able to save you a good chunk of change.

How Much Do Hotels Charge to Add Additional Guests?

If you need to add an additional guest or multiple guests to your hotel reservation, you might be wondering how much extra you will have to pay (if anything).

We decided to break down the costs for the major hotel chains: Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Marriott. For our analysis, we analyzed over 1,000 points and below you’ll see all of the data broken down along with the original data points.

How much do hotels charge to add additional guests?

After reviewing thousands of data points for the major US hotel chains, we found that hotels did not charge extra for a second guest but approximately 50% charged for third and fourth guests.

Specifically, the average cost of the third guest was $7.75 and the average cost for a fourth guest was $15.

Breakdown of the findings

Hilton

Out of all of the Hilton properties we analyzed, approximately 80% of them charged for a third and fourth guest. The average cost for a third guest was $10 and the average cost for a fourth guest was $21.

If you are adding a third or fourth guest at a luxury property such as the Waldorf sometimes the additional fee for a guest can jump up by quite a bit. For example, the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills charged $188 for a fourth guest!

""

Hyatt

Out of all of the Hyatt properties we analyzed, approximately 90% of them charged for a third and fourth guest. The average cost for a third guest was $16 and the average cost for a fourth guest was $31.

This made Hyatt the most expensive hotel chain for adding additional guests.

The pricing can be pretty consistent within Hyatt brands but sometimes you can find a property that is an anomaly and does not charge. For example, most Hyatt Place properties charge for additional guests but Hyatt Place New York/Yonkers did not.

IHG

Out of all of the IHG properties we analyzed, approximately 25% of them charged for a third and fourth guest. The average cost for a third guest was $5 and the average cost for a fourth guest was $8.

Like some other chains, you don’t always know what to expect because pricing could be inconsistent within brands. For example, InterContinental may you may not charge you extra (but if they do it could be a lot).

However, some brands like Candlewood Suites very rarely charge extra for more guests.

Marriott

Out of all of the Marriott properties we analyzed, approximately 1.6% of them charged for a third guest and 2.86% charged for a fourth guest. The average cost for a third guest was $4 and the average cost for a fourth guest was $7.

This means that Marriott was the cheapest chain when it came to adding additional guests. Based on our data points, it should be extremely rare for a Marriott property to charge you for your third or fourth guest.

Even at luxury brands like The Ritz-Carlton, it was rare to see a charge for a third and fourth hotel guest.

Adding a second guest

It will be extremely rare for you to be charged extra for adding only one more guest. Typically, you only run into this when booking at something like an all-inclusive resort.

Adding children (or guests under 18)

Most of the hotels did not charge for additional guests who were children (which are guests under 18). On occasion, a property might consider a child to be someone under 13 or 12 so look out for that.

Again, all-inclusive resorts will likely be different and you may expect to pay for the child guest.

Rollaway beds

In some cases, you might need to request a rollaway bed to accommodate an additional guest. Some hotels will offer rollaway beds for free while others will charge you for the bed. Typically, this charge will be from $10 to $20.

We have done a full breakdown on those and you can check it out here.

Why you should always report accurately

Accurately reporting your hotel guests will help the hotel comply with fire codes so it’s always a good idea to do that.

Plus, if there was an emergency the emergency crew would know how many guests to look for in each room, increasing your odds of survival.

If you have multiple guests, it’s also a good idea to report them because they can make sure you receive all the elite benefits you are entitled to and it could even decrease the odds of you getting walked from your hotel.

Full list of data points

Below is the full list of data points based on prices found in the year 2023.

For these data points, we focused on standard rooms where the maximum number of guests was four. Sometimes, especially for larger suites you can add more guests than four.

As you can see, your odds of getting charged for additional guests go way down whenever you book with certain brands such as Marriott or IHG. Meanwhile, other brands like Hilton and Hyatt have a high probability of charging you for the third and fourth guest.

Nonstop Flights 14% Cheaper Than Connecting For US Routes?

When planning your airfare, at some point you’ll probably come across connecting flights and will consider if the extra time connecting will be worth the price.

Will you save money by taking a less convenient flight with connections or will a nonstop flight be cheaper?

We analyzed over 600 data points from the three US legacy carriers in order to figure out if booking a connecting flight will actually save you money when flying around the US.

Let’s take a look at the findings!

Are connecting flights cheaper than nonstop flights?

We reviewed over 600 data points for the main US carriers: United, American, and Delta, and we found that connecting flights in 2023 were on average 14% more expensive than nonstop flights.

Price breakdown by airline

The price increase between the major US carriers ranged from about 10% to 20% when it came to connecting vs nonstop domestic flights.

Here are the figures we got for each airline:

American Airlines

For American Airlines domestic flights, we found that connecting flights were 19% more expensive than nonstop flights. This came out to a $57 difference.

Delta Air Lines

For Delta Air Lines domestic flights, we found that connecting flights were 15% more expensive than nonstop flights. This came out to an $89 difference.

United Airlines

For United Airlines domestic flights, we found that connecting flights were 9% more expensive than nonstop flights. This came out to a $49 difference.

Note: While connecting flights were more expensive on average, sometimes the connecting flights were cheaper.

Other considerations

Besides price, here are some other things you want to consider when choosing a nonstop vs connecting flight.

Risk of delays

When you add on a connection to your itinerary you are adding on the risk of an additional delay or cancellation affecting your travel plans.

I really try to avoid connecting flights if it means connecting through a place like Chicago (ORD) in the winter, because I’m well aware of the risks of weather throwing a wrench in my plans.

If you’re connecting flights are all on the same itinerary then the airline responsible for the delay should help you out and they may do so in various ways.

But I would highly discourage you from booking connecting flights on separate itineraries unless you absolutely have to do that and you can give yourself plenty of time to deal with delays.

If you are connecting on the same itinerary, you can cut things closer without the risk of losing out on your money.

The amount of time you’ll need for the connection will vary based on the connecting airport, but you can often get by with something like a one hour layover.

Airport expenses

Depending on how long your layover is, you may have to kill some time at the airport as you wait for your connecting flight. This means more temptations to spend money at over priced airport restaurants, shops, and bars.

Personally, I’m a big fan of airport lounge access for this reason.

Between Priority Pass and Centurion Lounges, we can pretty much always find a place to kill some time during a layover and the cost of the membership is built into our credit card annual fees.

Lost luggage

Every time you make a connection, your luggage also has to make a connection.

This means that you increase the odds of luggage getting lost each time you connect. When your luggage is lost or delayed, it’s almost always eventually found but it can be a pretty stressful experience to deal with that.

Tip: It’s a good idea to have baggage delay insurance so that you can go out and buy necessities while you wait for your luggage and then get reimbursed for those expenses.

More miles/segments for elite status

A connecting flight could earn you more miles and segments than a nonstop flight. So for some people chasing elite status, booking a connection could make more sense.

Data points

At UponArriving, we always believe in transparency with our data and so if you’d like to take a look at some of the real-world prices we found for these flights, you can find them below.

The prices reflect prices falling in the same or similar fare bucket.

For the most part, we attempted to take prices for discounted fares so it’s possible that the coonclusions could be skewed towards cheaper tickets rather than the full fare tickets.

Also, most of these connecting flights were true connecting flights and not direct flights.

A direct flight could be a connecting flight that does not change flight numbers and these appear to be much more rare to find than connecting flights.

Final word

If you’re wanting to fly with one of the main US airlines around the country, based on our data it appears that connecting flights will be more expensive on average.

This does not always hold true for international flights where connecting to a different city can bring down the price. We intend to introduce more data for more airlines in the near future and provide an even more comprehensive view of flight pricing.

Do Hotels Change Prices Hourly? [2022]

Have you ever wondered how often hotels change their prices?

After doing a lot of research, I saw reports of some hotels changing their prices every hour which got me wondering how often do hotels typically change their price?

Could it be the case that by booking early in the morning you could capture the cheapest rate or vice versa?

We were very curious to find out this answer so our research team dug into around 500 hotel price data points.

Below, I’ll talk about our findings and provide some context based on our prior research to help you better understand how hotel pricing works.

Do hotels change prices hourly?

Our research team reviewed close to 500 data points and found that around 20% of hotels changed their price throughout the day. About half of those prices went up while the other half went down. So, yes, some hotels do change their prices throughout the day but they appear to be a minority of properties.

Putting all the research together

Our past research revealed a few interesting findings.

We found that a lot of different variables can affect the pricing of a hotel.

Some hotels use special software that picks up on what competitors are pricing things out and takes into consideration things like events, holidays, and even weather and flight patterns.

In terms of the best time to book a hotel, we discovered that when staying at chain hotels in the US, booking three months out is usually always cheaper than booking the next day or even booking several months out.

Specifically, compared to last minute prices, booking three months out was about 14% cheaper on average and booking nine months out was just under 1% cheaper.

Also, what was interesting is that some chains were better for last minute bookings than others.

  • Marriott and IHG offered the best discounts for booking 3 months out
  • Hilton offered the best discount for booking 9 months out
  • Booking last minute was most beneficial for Hyatt

We also found that when it comes to booking a last-minute stay you may want to wait until after 4pm to make your booking.

Our research showed that on average prices decreased by 2% when making a booking after 4pm for a same day stay.

However, several hotels dropped their prices much more than 2% allowing customers to save up to 25% at specific properties.

During all of this research, we noticed that some prices were changing on a very frequent basis.

For example, some price changes were happening multiple times a day.

So we wanted to test out pricing to see how often prices really fluctuate.

We focused on two of the biggest cities in the US: New York City and Los Angeles. (We plan on testing out this methodology on other big cities in the future.)

We looked up the same standard room prices for a hotel at 6am, 9am, noon, and 3pm.

We also did this for booking dates that were two weeks out, three months out, and nine months out.

To keep our findings consistent with other studies we’ve done, we focused on major hotel chains such as Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, and IHG.

Within each brand we also included a wide array of properties including luxury properties and mid to lower tier properties.

Research findings

The majority of prices stayed the same throughout the day but for 22.5% of hotels, prices did change throughout the day. So for most properties, you probably don’t have to worry about crazy (or any) price fluctuations happening throughout the day.

When price fluctuations did occur, sometimes the price went up and sometimes it went down.

These fluctuations could be very small as some had only a $2 increase or decrease. But in other cases the change could be a big swing.

The biggest downward swing that we saw was $130 while the biggest increase we saw was $121.

Both of those instances are kind of crazy to think about because you could literally save yourself hundreds of dollars or end up costing yourself hundreds just by waiting a couple of extra hours to book!

In total, we saw five prices drop and six prices get more expensive. So the conclusion here is that it is roughly 50/50 in terms of whether or not a fluctuating price will go down or go up.

One interesting find was that a couple of the properties that had fluctuating prices had them multiple times.

For example, the The St. Regis New York and Conrad New York Midtown both had prices that fluctuated during different time frames.

So once you identify a hotel that changes its price throughout a given day it’s possible that they are more prone to changing prices on many other days.

This means that you might want to track that hotel over the span of a couple of days before booking because it could end up saving you something like $50 per night.

If you want to check prices, I would recommend checking prior to 6am and then checking every three or four hours throughout the day.

Final word

We still plan on doing a more exhaustive analysis of changing hotel prices but these results so far so that prices can fluctuate very often for some properties.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there is a clear price trend in terms of it going up or down so it is still sort of a gamble as to whether or not the price change means a cheaper or more expensive rate.

Is Booking Hotels After 4pm for Same-Day Stays a Good Idea?

Our research team recently conducted a study to see if booking US hotels last minute was beneficial compared to booking several months out.

The results showed that booking three months out was on average better than booking the day before or even nine months out.

There were several properties that did lower the price for last minute bookings but they tended to be in the minority.

However, one tip that we ran across was to wait to book until after 4 PM for a last-minute booking because the prices may drop.

We were curious to see if this would actually be the case so we decided to do a mini-study and test out 80 hotels to see if their prices would indeed drop after 4 PM for same-day bookings.

Do you save money when booking after 4 PM for same-day bookings?

Our research showed that on average prices decreased by 2% when making a booking after 4 PM for a same day stay. However, several hotels dropped their prices much more than 2% allowing customers to save up to 25% at specific properties.

Methodology

Because we were dealing with extremely last minute bookings we were not able to use the usual standard room for our data points (too many of the rooms were sold out).

So these data points represent prices for standard rooms, suites, deluxe rooms, etc. The key is that we always used the exact same type of room and rate when we checked the price later on in the day.

We also chose major chains (Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Marriott) in some of the most populated cities of the US.

And finally we chose a diverse selection of brands so that we have data from expensive luxury properties and also mid-tier and lower tier brands.

The data

Overall, the data shows that the prices decreased by an average of 2%.

But that does not tell the whole story.

For one, several properties did have the prices go up after 4 PM so it is definitely not a guarantee that your price will go down.

The worst price increase we saw was a 46% jump at the Hyatt Place Austin Downtown, so it is definitely possible to get burned when booking after 4 PM.

As expected, there were several properties that simply had the same price after 4 PM so not every hotel is so dynamic with last-minute prices.

And then there were those properties that ran out of inventory and sold out by the time that we checked back with them in the evening which is always a risk when trying to take advantage of last minute deals.

When prices did decrease, the average decrease was about 12%. Sometimes the decrease resulted in some pretty substantial savings like at the W Austin where the rate went down by around $100.

The biggest percentage decrease we saw was at the The Adolphus, Autograph Collection, where the price decreased by 26%.

Final word

This study supports a couple of findings.

First, just as reported in other articles we’ve done, prices at hotels can be very dynamic and change throughout the day and not just day-to-day.

Second, waiting until after 4 PM can result in savings for a last-minute, same-day booking. And in some cases the savings can be pretty substantial allowing you to snag a price for $100 less.

You still need to be careful with last minute bookings because as shown by the data above sometimes those rooms may not be available later on or you could get burned by a price hike close to 50%!

But overall if you need to book a room for a same day stay you might be better off waiting until the late afternoon to make a booking.

Are Last Minute Hotel Bookings Cheaper? (New Data) [2022]

Do you know some people who refuse to book hotels in advance and almost always book last minute?

In my case, I have a father-in-law who almost universally books hotels at the last second.

And it’s got me wondering could he be costing himself some serious cash or could his booking strategy actually be saving him a good amount?

If you have you ever wondered if booking a hotel last minute is actually cheaper, this article will be very illuminating.

Our research team looked at over 700 data points and examined what would be cheaper: booking a hotel last minute or booking several (3 to 9) months in advance.

We also compared the major hotel chains to each other and found some interesting findings that show that some chains like Hyatt may be better off when booked last minute.

Is booking a hotel last minute cheaper?

After analyzing over 700 data points, we found that booking US chain hotels last minute was usually not cheaper.

Compared to last minute prices, booking three months out was about 14% cheaper on average and booking nine months out was just under 1% cheaper.

However, these averages were very different for certain hotel chains. So booking nine months in advance could be beneficial for Hilton but not Hyatt, for example.

Also, some properties did offer cheaper rates for last minute bookings so booking last minute can still mean saving money — you just have to find the right property at the right time.

Below, I’ll jump in to some different factors to consider about hotel pricing and then give you a detailed breakdown of all of the data we found and the conclusions we arrived at.

How hotel pricing works

Hotel pricing can depend on a multitude of factors.

First, prices might be set by the property manager or even a revenue manager who specializes in pricing based on current demand.

Sophisticated hotels rely on software like Duetto or other programs that help them land on a very specific price for the rooms.

The factors that go into pricing include things like historical occupancy rates, holidays and special events, and what nearby competitors are currently pricing at.

Some programs might be even more advanced and take into consideration things like airline ticket sales, the most popular days searched by users on booking sites, and lodging reviews on TripAdvisor.

And as you may have guessed, weather patterns can greatly impact last minute bookings.

If the forecast indicates a snowstorm blowing into a mountain resort town, that could shoot up the prices for that timeframe.

At the same time, if a storm is blowing through a tropical area that could potentially bring down the prices.

Sometimes, just the fact that clouds are moving into an area and sunshine is available in a neighboring area is enough to send prices upward.

Frequent changes

Prices at a hotel could change very frequently.

Some properties claim that their prices change multiple times a day (probably tiny fluctuations) while others may only change their rates every couple of days.

When booking last minute you don’t have the luxury to test out fluctuating prices so you just need to be careful that you are not getting caught at a bad time when prices are peaking on a micro-level.

Weekdays or weekends

As far as whether or not weekdays or weekends are cheaper that typically depends on the type of property/room you’re looking at.

Consider that a hotel that caters mostly to leisure travelers will likely be more expensive on the weekends for rooms with two queen beds because that is when families are out traveling for fun.

Meanwhile, a hotel that caters to solo business travelers will likely be more expensive for king bed rooms during the week.

Leisure travelers tend to be more sensitive to price fluctuations so based on that I would think that booking weekend rates last minute will often be better deals than weekdays but again it sort of depends on the room type and property.

Also, certain days of the weekend will usually be cheaper. For example, Sunday night hotel rates are on average, 30% cheaper than Fridays and Saturdays.

So if you were looking to book a last-minute Sunday night stay you might think you’re getting a great last minute deal but this could just be the standard pricing pattern.

Holidays and special events

When it comes to last minute deals, you have to be very careful navigating around holidays and special events because inventory can be extremely limited and the prices can shoot up like crazy.

It’s not unheard of to see prices triple or even quadruple the weekend of a major sporting event for example. Consider that during the Kentucky Derby hotels that normally go for $200 a night Louisville may start off at $1,000 plus!

While those price hikes are dramatic the biggest issue with special events and last minute bookings is usually available inventory.

If you have hotel elite status you can try to use your guaranteed availability benefit to book a room last minute. For example, Marriott Titanium Elite and Ambassador Elite have a 48-Hour Guaranteed Availability.

But note even these benefits sometimes have exceptions.

Stay length

Last minute hotel bookings may be more advantageous for single night stays. If you have a longer stay, you are probably better off booking that more in advance.

This makes sense because it’s easy for a hotel to know what their inventory looks like within 24 hours but harder for them to predict what occupancy will do four or five days out.

Apps

Before jumping into our data it’s a good time to remind you that there are specific apps you can use to find last minute hotel deals.

Here are some apps to check out:

Some of these apps may allow you to find hotels available late at night/in the early morning.

For example, if you were arriving on a redeye flight and needed to check in at 2 AM you might be able to find a hotel room available for that scenario.

If you are going to be staying in hotels at all hours you might also look into hotels that offer day/hourly rates which are special rates that allow you to stay in a hotel room for only a few hours or for an afternoon. You can usually save about 45% when going this route.

Our study data

We compared the prices for booking the next day, three months out, and nine months out. (For our next day bookings, they were made in the evening the day prior.)

We focused on four major hotel chains: Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Marriott and included a diverse range of brands including high-end properties, cheaper properties, and everything in-between. For the study we focused on the six most popular cities in the US.

Here are the key findings broken down by chain:

  • Overall, booking last minute is not cheaper on average
  • Marriott and IHG offered the best discounts for booking 3 months out
  • Hilton offered the best discount for booking 9 months out
  • Booking last minute was most beneficial for Hyatt

Our data is interesting because taken as a whole it shows that booking last minute is not cheaper than booking at least a few months out.

But there were a number of properties that did have cheaper rates when booked last minute and in some instances specific locations seemed to have cheaper last-minute bookings.

Locations that had the most amount of last minute hotel deals included Los Angeles and Philadelphia.

In some cases, booking last minute would never be the cheapest rate for any chain or brand within a city. Indeed, most of the time it seems like booking last minute was the most expensive rate for all properties within a city.

But in other cases, there would be a clear advantage to booking a specific brand within a city last minute.

For example, almost every data point we had for Hyatt properties in Los Angeles had the best deals for last-minute bookings. Marriotts in Houston also had a lot of last minute rates with the cheapest prices.

So with all of that in mind here is a look at our data.

Hilton

This first data set looks at Hilton properties in the largest cities in the US. We found that on average it was 16% cheaper to book nine months out and 11% cheaper to book 3 months out.

This means Hilton was the best major chain for booking 9 months out. So if you like to plan way ahead, Hilton could reward you with the best savings.

Hyatt

Next was Hyatt. Hyatt was very interesting because it was the only brand that was more expensive when booking nine months out. In fact, bookings nine months out were about 23% more expensive!

Booking three months out was only about 4% cheaper than last minute so Hyatt might be the best brand to choose for last minute bookings.

IHG

For IHG properties booking three months out was about 20% cheaper. Booking your hotel room approximately nine months out was only about 3% cheaper.

So planning ahead with IHG may not always give you a large discount but booking three months out could give you better savings than the other major hotel chains.

Marriott

Once again, we found booking three months or nine months out was cheaper in the case of Marriott hotel stays.

For three months we found the discount to be about 18% and for nine months the discount was about 6%. Houston and Phoenix had the highest amount of last minute bookings with the cheapest rates.

Final word

As you can tell, the data shows that while there are some exceptions, booking last minute is usually not the best deal. (Sorry, father-in-law.) Instead, the best deals are usually found about three months out. Also, some cities tend to have better deals for last minute bookings and some chains are better for booking last minute than others.
