Unfortunately, I think you heard wrong. I check airfare extremely often -- usually about 3-6 times a month, trying to get off this d**n island and there's never a rhyme or reason for when prices drop as far as day of the week.

What I have learned is airfare always, always costs more on HA (they're the absolute worst anyway -- and if anyone wants to challenge me on that, go ahead). Usually it's relatively inexpensive on AA and UA (however, I'm looking at specific hubs: Lih-Lax mostly. The best (cheapest) fare is usually always on AS -- the downside is their routing and timetables are not ideal.

Kayak is great like the above poster mentioned.
