See how to travel for less! Want to find out why so many people tend to search for flights at night? Come take advantage of the opportunities to pay less! Below is a practical explanation of what happens behind the scenes and a step-by-step guide to finding deals on the main Brazilian airlines.
Why do prices usually have lower prices in the early morning hours?
During the early morning hours (usually between midnight and 5 am), airline systems automatically reprocess fares: algorithms recalculate prices, unconfirmed reservations are released, and unsold seats can become flash sales. With far fewer users browsing websites simultaneously, these offers have a better chance of appearing, and you're more likely to find them before they disappear.
Furthermore, loyalty programs (such as LATAM Pass, Smiles, and TudoAzul) often update redemptions and promotions around this same time—creating opportunities to use fewer points or combine points and cash for advantageous values. In short: it's not a myth, it's a tactic. A little flexibility in dates, internet access, and the willingness to search already significantly increases your chances.
Automatic adjustments and last-minute releases: Airlines frequently readjust their systems overnight, which can generate temporary offers or "clearance" fares to fill empty seats.
Best days and times: The early morning hours from Tuesday to Wednesday and Saturday to Sunday, especially between midnight and 5 am, usually have a higher probability of reduced prices.
