Historically, fares are often higher priced on weekends than say, Tuesday or Wednesday.

This is because fare "jugling", matching, and counter-matching is most active mid-week.

The above speaks of general history on pricing, not the days of travel.

Usually, it is easier to find cheaper fares when flying on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. This is especially true on international trips.
