In short: Monday is typically the cheapest day to fly to Belgrade from the US, according to KAYAK and Momondo data. From Europe on LCC routes, Tuesday and Wednesday departures tend to be 15–30% cheaper than Friday and Saturday.
The Data
From the US: KAYAK and Momondo both identify Monday as the lowest average-fare day for US–Belgrade travel. Momondo shows Monday fares at ~$848 one-way vs Saturday average ~$916 — a significant difference. This reflects lower business travel on Mondays for transatlantic routes.
From Europe (Ryanair/Wizz Air): Mid-week departures (Tuesday, Wednesday) consistently produce lower fares than Friday/Saturday on LCC routes. The difference can be 20–40% on popular routes. Thursday can also be cheap; Sunday is typically the most expensive day for budget carrier departures.
Other Variables That Affect Belgrade Fares
Beyond day of the week, the factors that most affect Belgrade flight prices:
- Lead time: 4–8 weeks ahead for European LCCs; 8–12 weeks for US connections
- Month of travel: February cheapest overall; July–August most expensive
- Flexibility on London airport: Wizz Air (Luton) and Ryanair (Stansted) price independently — check both
- Ancillary fees: A “cheap” Wizz Air fare with a 20kg hold bag added often exceeds a slightly pricier Air Serbia ticket
Setting Up Price Alerts
Skyscanner and Google Flights both allow date-flexible price tracking. Set an alert for your route and you’ll be notified when fares drop. This is more reliable than trying to predict the cheapest day manually.
