I have to be in office on Mondays and Tuesdays
Sunday afternoon/evening and Monday mornings tend to be more popular business travel times being the start of the week when many business flyers and consultants travel to work sites. Tuesday and Wednesday tend to be slower business travel days (and fares tend to be cheaper on these days). Thursdays and Fridays are also popular due to business people travelling back home for the weekend. Saturday tends to be the slowest day of the week for business travel (with lower fares similar to Tue/Wed travel) and many airlines run reduced schedules on this day for business destinations.
