1. The Best Day to Buy a Ticket to Florida Is Wednesday

What could possibly be better for combatting those midweek blues than planning a dream vacation? Saving money by booking your dream vacation on the right day, of course. Be sure to search for and book your flight to Florida on a Wednesday — when Hopper's statistics show that they are priced at their weekly average low.

2. Depart on a Tuesday and Return on a Wednesday

Want to save a quick $84? Then you may have to stay in Florida for longer than a weekend! Hopper's stats have shown that the cheapest day to depart for Florida is a Tuesday, while Wednesday is the cheapest day to return — saving as much as $35 and $49, respectively. And on the bright side, you won't have to deal with those annoying weekend airport crowds!

3. Frontier, Spirit, and JetBlue All Offer Non-Stop Flights for $200 or Less

No matter which particular arrival airport you have in mind, these U.S. budget carriers could knock some serious numbers of the total cost of your flights. In fact, on many of the popular routes available from airports across the United States, Frontier, Spirit and JetBlue all have seats selling for less than $200 round trip (and sometimes for much less during a fare sale). Not bad at all!

4. The Cheapest Month to Fly to Florida is May

Despite its soaring summertime temperatures and costly wintertime hotel rates, Florida draws huge crowds of vacationers throughout the year. However, by avoiding the November-to-March high season and the June-to-August school vacation periods, it's possible to bag some bargain airfare. In fact, Hopper's stats show that May is the best time of year to travel overall, when the average flight price is sitting at just $213.
