The Best Day Of The Week To Book Plane Tickets

How To Find Cheap Flights

With Halloween (and even Thanksgiving prep) in full swing, we already have our sights set on holiday travel. We're dreaming up a variety of different trips near and far, but sometimes our eyes are bigger than our wallets, especially with how expensive the cost of living is right now. But just because travel is expensive doesn't mean you have to settle for the most expensive flights out there. We got a peek at Expedia's 2023 Air Travel Hacks Report for some tips on how to find cheap flights so that you can have a bigger travel budget for other (i.e., more fun) parts of your trip.

What Are The Cheapest Days To Fly?

The days of the week that usually end up having cheap flights are Tuesday and Wednesday. That's both a good and a bad thing because while they are usually cheaper, they're in the middle of the week, which we know can be difficult for some people to work around. Even if that's not an option, do what you can to avoid flying on Saturday and Sunday since they usually end up being the most expensive.

As far as which day of the week to book your flight, it's actually the opposite. The Air Travel Hacks Report shows that booking your flight on a Sunday can save you an average of 5% on domestic flights and 15% on international flights. Sounds good to us!

Buffers

Give yourself enough time to find a flight before last-minute price jumps. Expedia's Air Travel Hacks Report shows that booking domestic flights a month ahead of time and international flights six months ahead of time can save you 10%. One to three months before a domestic trip is a good way to see if there are any patterns in ticket prices and to get an idea of what you can expect.

Credit Cards

Maximize your spending by using a credit card that offers travel rewards. You can pay for necessities like gas and groceries to rack up points — just make sure you pay it off every month! Check out our podcast episode with The Points Guy for more travel ideas.

Shop Around

Unless you're a diehard fan of one airline, don't be afraid to compare flight prices to get the best deal. If there are multiple airports in your area, see which one has better prices. If you don't mind a longer travel day, see if there are any layover flights that are cheaper than direct. Compare a variety of prices, airlines, and days of the week to see which works best for your destination.

Time Of Day

When looking for flights, there's a good chance that cheaper flights will be at times that are more inconvenient to fly, like early in the morning or late at night. If you don't mind the messed-up sleep schedule, go for it! Booking an earlier flight might also decrease the chance that your plans will get interrupted. According to the Air Travel Hacks Report, flights that depart after 3 p.m. have a 50% higher chance of being cancelled than those earlier in the day.

Tools Of The Trade

Use tools like Google Flights' price graph (in the top right corner) or Insanely Cheap Flights to find good deals. You can also try Hopper, which is an app that lets you know whether you should buy a ticket now or later based on its price change predictions. If you're down with spontaneity, Scott's Cheap Flights will email you the most affordable flights from a given location for some potentially great deals.

Although some sources dispute it, we've also had team members shave hundreds of dollars off their flights by clearing their cache or looking for tickets on incognito mode. All you have to do is get the hang of which sites work best for you, and after some trial and error, you'll know exactly where to go for the best experience.

Holiday Travel

If you want cheaper holiday flights, you might need to be more flexible with your dates, according to some 2021 Expedia flight data. You can save an average of 5% for Thanksgiving travel if you depart Sunday through Tuesday or an average of 15% the week of Christmas if you depart before Thursday. It might throw a wrench in your travel plans, but if you can save money on the travel itself, you'll have more money (and less stress) to do things that you're actually excited about.

While in America we may toast to the new year with Champagne and eat black-eyed peas for good luck, those who celebrate the Lunar New Year have a host of food traditions that symbolize wealth, health, and family unity. At a Lunar New Year celebration dinner at Hakkasan in San Francisco hosted by Tiger Beer, we learned about the eight items that have been served each year on the Lunar Near Year for centuries. Why eight? In Chinese, the number eight (huat), translates to “get wealthy.”

Scroll to see the 8 lucky Lunar New Year foods you should eat this year!

China Sichuan Food

1. Dumplings

Steamed dumplings are shaped like the ancient Chinese gold currency, called ingot, and represent wealth. According to legend, the number of dumplings you eat during the new year corresponds to the amount of money you’ll make that year. That’s reason enough to eat an extra dumpling (or five). (via China Sichuan Food)

The Woks of Life

2. Whole Steamed Fish

Yu means both fish and prosperity in Chinese. Dining on a whole fish during the Lunar New Year embodies family unity. (via The Woks of Life)

Woks of Life

3. Longevity Noodles

Here’s your reason to slurp noodles and not break them — the longer the noodles, the longer the life of the person who consumes them, legend has it. If you can, splurge on Longevity Noodles, a large portion of noodles that contains just one long strand that is not cut, which is why it tends to be on the pricier side. (via Woks of Life)

The Hong Kong Cookery

4. Rice

The stickiness of steamed jasmine rice is another symbol of a family “sticking” together. Some families celebrate with an “Eight Treasures Rice Pudding,” a stunning rice dessert that stars glutinous rice and eight toppings: candied lotus, green raisins, pine nuts, black raisins, dried dates, dried wolfberries, dried apricots, and red maraschino cherries (for luck!). (viaThe Hong Kong Cookery)

Dumpling Sisters

5. Garlic

The word for garlic in Chinese is suan, which translates to “counting.” Tradition has it that those who celebrate the Lunar New Year eat lots of garlic to count all of the money they will make in the new year. It’s found in almost every dish, including stir-fried prawns. (via Dumpling Sisters)

The Woks of Life

6. Red Foods

Red is the prominent color used in the Lunar New Year and is found in the decor, food, and most notably, the red envelopes filled with money gifted to loved ones during this time. The color red is associated with good luck, fortune, and joy. A table during the Lunar New Year will be filled with red foods like crab, peking duck, shrimp, barbecue pork, and more. (via The Woks of Life)

Chinese Healthy Cooking

7. Glutinous Rice Balls

Dinner ends with sweet, round glutinous rice balls filled with red bean paste. The round shape supposedly indicates a smooth year ahead, family reunion, and good luck! (via Chinese Healthy Cooking)

8. Mandarin Oranges

The official fruit of the new year, mandarin oranges, ju in Chinese, sounds like the word for lucky, ji. They are abundantly gifted throughout the New Year celebration.

Dunkin'just dropped a new specialty donut flavor alongside their spring menu, and it’s already got fans in a doozy. Inspired by perhaps the most sugary dessert out there, cotton candy, it’s not hard to see the treat going downhill (AKA being way too sweet). Plenty of Dunkin’ fans are still skeptical about the new flavor – making this the most divisive donut drop in a hot minute.

Read on to learn more about Dunkin’s Cotton Candy donut and the best fan reactions to the new flavor!

Dunkin’

Dunkin’ describes their all-new Cotton Candy Specialty Donut as “asweet throwback for kids and kids at heart.” It’s a filled donut full of cotton candy-flavored buttercream that’s then topped with strawberry icing and blue sprinkles.

But is it really as “whimsical and delicious” as the chain claims? Dunkin’ fans on Reddit had a lot of thoughts.

Reddit

If you’re wondering about the true flavor, one person who tried it reported that it tasted like a combo of bubblegum and cotton candy ice cream. Another person liked that it was “very balanced.”

“Not a fan of cotton candy flavored stuff but this was pretty good or at least better than expected,” one customer reported on Reddit. “The doughnut wasn't overly sweet and I liked that the cotton candy flavor was all in the cream. I also liked how soft the dough was.”

“I really liked how the filling was more fluffy and airy compared to regular donut filling!” another person said. “The cotton candy flavor was quite subtle which I think was for the best lol.”

Reddit

While plenty of people were pleasantly surprised by the Cotton Candy Specialty Donut, others could not find the strength to stomach it.

“Not appetizing to me at all but it looks cute,” someone said.

“I actually think Dunkin's R&D is run by tweens,” another commented. “Cotton candy donut, how ridiculous.”

Dunkin'

This is a treat you just have to try for yourself. No matter what you think about the Cotton Candy Specialty Donut, you can also snag some other great items from Dunkin’ this spring, including the all-new Blueberry Sprinkle MUNCHKINS and Ham & Swiss Pretzel Sliders. They also launched an Arctic Cherry energy drink and brought the famed Dunkalatte for sippers to enjoy!

As much as I love binge watching new Christmas movies (shameless plug for Our Little Secret, I loved it so much), there's nothing like sitting down with your family to watch a classic Christmas movie. After all, they're classics for a reason! These picks are great for the littlest of kids, but they're still entertaining enough for the rest of the fam. Someholiday moviesare black and white, and some are a little more recent but, but they're all must-see movies.

No matter what kind of film you're looking for, keep reading for the BEST classic Christmas movies to watch this holiday season!

CBS/ABC/Apple TV+

A Charlie Brown Christmas — On Apple TV+

If you don't have time for a full feature film, opt for this animated special instead. Charlie Brown explores the true meaning of Christmas, family, and friendship when he's put in charge of the holiday pageant. This cartoon is so cute, and it's the perfect length for when you need a quick mealtime watch!

Columbia Pictures

Little Women — On Paramount+

Sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy are dealing with a Christmas with no presents and, even worse, no Father while he fights in the Civil War. But as they encounter love and loss throughout their adolescence, the older they get, the more they realize the greatest gift was each other.

Columbia Pictures

The Holiday — on Prime Video

This classic Christmas movie (which stars Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, and Jack Black) has everything you could dream of: a house swap to a dreamy location and a run-in with handsome strangers. Say no more.

Warner Bros.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation — On Max

Clark Griswold is determined to give his family the best Christmas vacation ever. Unfortunately, it's totally on brand for the entire holiday to become a giant disaster.

RKO Pictures

It's a Wonderful Life — On Roku

The first classic Christmas movie on our list is one that my dad tried to get me to watch for years. I finally watched it and I cried almost the entire time. It's A Wonderful Life follows George Bailey, who's taken to an alternate reality where he never existed and realizes just how much he as to live for. This movie will definitely make you appreciate the people you love.

Legacy Releasing

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer — Rent On Amazon Prime

Stop motion holiday movies were my entire childhood, and this one is a super cute addition to any family gathering. It expands on the iconic reindeer's story and features romance, danger, friendship, and even themes of identity and belonging. Go Rudolph!

Universal Pictures

Love Actually — on Prime Video

Any rom-com fan will want to tune into this classic, which tells the story of multiple lovestruck (or heartbroken) characters and will make you feel totally seen.

Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures

Christmas With The Kranks — On Prime Video

Jamie Lee Curtis might not have won an Oscar until 2023 for Everything Everywhere All At Once, but she deserved one for this classic Christmas movie ;). Luther and Nora have decided to all but cancel Christmas with their daughter in Peru. But when she comes home at the last minute, they must figure out how to have a spontaneous celebration.

Warner Bros.

The Polar Express — on Max

If you ask me, it's not a proper holiday without watching this iconic animated movie. Tom Hanks voices both the train conductor leading children to the North Pole and the little boy who isn't sure he even believes in Santa.

20th Century Studios

Home Alone — On Disney+

If you prefer a hilarious Christmas movie, then Home Alone is exactly what you need. 8-year-old Kevin McCallister is left behind when his family goes on their holiday vacation. As fun as it sounds, he starts to get tired of being ~home alone~ pretty quickly — especially when two burglars decide to target the house.

Disney

Eloise At Christmastime — on Prime Video

Speaking of spunky children, take a trip around the Plaza Hotel with Eloise, who basically rules the roost. With Gavin Creel as the lovable Bill and Christine Baranski as Prunella, this is one classic Christmas movie you'll want to watch even when you're not a kid anymore.

Disney

A Muppet Christmas Carol — On Disney+

By this point, A Muppet Christmas Carol is a classic Christmas movie that you'll remember for years to come. Every iteration puts a new spin on the tale, but this version is definitely Gen Z's favorite. The movie follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a stingy bachelor whose life is changed when the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future visit him on Christmas Eve.

New Line Cinema/Warner Bros.

Elf — On Hulu

Even though this movie takes place in a post-Y2K world, it is absolutely a classic Christmas movie at this point! Buddy has spent his whole life thinking he's an elf, but when he learns he's a human — and that his dad is living in New York City — he goes on an adventure to find the family he never met. If anything will spark a lifelong love of narwhals, it'll be this movie. This is also a fun movie to watch after Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer because it's supposed to be the same world!

MGM Studios

A Christmas Story — on Max

If you watched Elf and thought that Ming Ming the elf looked familiar, it's because he's played by Peter Billingsley from A Christmas Story! In this holiday classic, Ralphie does what every kid does the closer we get to Christmas: begs his parents for his dream gift, a Red Ryder BB gun.

Touchstone Pictures

The Nightmare Before Christmas — on Disney+

Pumpkin king Jack Skellington is in for a surprise when he finds Christmastown...and decides to kidnap Santa and take on the mantle of the jolly old elf. Tim Burton's musical delight is perfect for anyone who considers themself just a little bit more of a Halloween person (we get it!)

20th Century Studios

Miracle on 34th Street — On Disney+

There are two versions of this classic Christmas movie you can add to your watchlist: the 1947 black and white film, or the 1994 version starring Matilda's Mara Wilson. The story follows an independent single mother, a man on a quest to prove he's Santa Claus, and a little girl looking for something to believe in. I cannot recommend it enough, for real.

Paramount Pictures

White Christmas — On Prime Video

This movie is my family's non-negotiable yearly watch, and TBH, everyone needs to see it! White Christmas is a musical that follows Bob and Phil who team up with sister act Betty and Judy to save an old friend's failing Vermont inn. For even more of a recommendation, my family genuinely and spontaneously breaks into any song from this movie as soon as the holiday season stars.

MGM/Warner Bros/CBS

How the Grinch Stole Christmas! — On Peacock

This classic Christmas movie (which I prefer to the Jim Carrey version, but you do you, boo) follows the titular Grinch, who decides to ruin Christmas by stealing presents, decor, and food from the Whos in Whoville. This heartwarming story really serves as a reminder that Christmas — and life — is more than material objects.

Image via Universal Pictures

How The Grinch Stole Christmas — Rent On Amazon Prime

In this spin on the aforementioned cartoon, Jim Carrey plays the Grinch, who hates Christmas and can't stand the Whos of Whoville. This is a full feature film so they've added some extra plotlines the original doesn't have, but TBH, it just makes it more memorable.

CBS

Frosty The Snowman — on Hulu

Another classic Christmas movie that kids of all ages will love! When Frosty comes to life and befriends some local children, they have to team up to prevent him from melting.

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

The Santa Clause — On Disney+

Tim Allen stars as Scott Calvin, who must step into the red, cookie-loving shoes of Santa Claus when he accidentally causes the previous Santa to fall off his roof. After decades of Santa stories, I always loved how original this one is!!

ABC/Disney

The Year Without a Santa Claus — Rent on Apple TV+

"I'm Mister White Christmas, I'm Mister Snow!" Whether you've been singing this song since the special aired in 1974, or you've seen all the TikToks, it's a better time than ever to rewatch the story of the elves trying to convince Santa to carry out his annual trek.

TV shows have the unique ability to capture the cultural pulse of their time, and sitcoms might just be the greatest example. They're packed with relevant humor and characters that are supposed to be relatable, so they quickly become staples in homes across the country.

However, as we continue to evolve as a society, so do our standards, and plenty of shows you might've watched as a kid or teen now just seem dated or even downright offensive in hindsight. Here are some classic sitcoms that, while once iconic, haven't aged well.

Scroll to see all the sitcoms that actually aged really badly...

CBS

1. How I Met Your Mother

It's natural to have flawed characters in TV series, but one How I Met Your Mother character in particular, Barney Stinson, is especially problematic. Portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris, Barney is known for being manipulative and casually misogynistic.

For instance, he has a "playbook" of pick-up lines, regularly lies to women just to sleep with them, and perpetuates toxic masculinity. Barney's behavior might've been able to snag some laughs back in the day, but his disrespectful actions wouldn't be so well-received by audiences in 2025.

Warner Bros. Television

2. Two and a Half Men

Two and a Half Men continues to air on TV and stream across platforms, but that doesn't mean its premise isn't controversial.

Charlie Sheen plays Charlie Harper, a man who routinely treats women as objects for his own pleasure and perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes. Not to mention, Charlie's behavior is showcased in front of his young nephew, Jake, who becomes privy to situations that are way too mature for a kid.

Sure, there is humor in the tension between Charlie and his brother, Alan. Nonetheless, the line between comedy and inappropriate content is definitely blurred.

ABC

3. Ugly Betty

Both the title and plot of Ugly Betty probably wouldn't hold up if it were released today. The show revolves around Betty Suarez, played by America Ferrera, who is a smart, ambitious, and kind-hearted young woman. However, since she wears glasses, has braces, and doesn't follow fashion trends, she's deemed "ugly" and deals with constant ridicule after landing a job at a fashion magazine.

It's undeniable that Ugly Betty is packed with both funny and heartfelt moments. Nonetheless, the way the show treats Betty's looks and reinforces harmful beauty standards feels super outdated in our more body-positive and inclusive era.

20th Century Fox Television

4. That 70's Show

When you think of That 70's Show, you might picture the classic bell-bottom-wearing friend group sitting around, surrounded by clouds of smoke. Compared to how the character Fes, played by Wilmer Valderrama, was treated, the underage drug use seems relatively tame.

As the "foreign exchange student," Fes is not only given a name that reduces him to being an outsider, but a lot of the humor surrounding his character also just relies on racist stereotypes. That 70's Show might've intended to be lighthearted, but it's tough to imagine a modern sitcom leaning on so many old tropes.

CBS

5. Everybody Loves Raymond

Despite being a funny character, Ray Barone, played by Ray Romano, reinforces problematic gender roles in Everybody Loves Raymond.

He comes off as a passive husband who typically sides with his mother over his wife, leaving his wife to shoulder much of the emotional labor and household chores. This old-fashioned family dynamic feels especially inappropriate today when modern sitcoms are trying to challenge these old stereotypes.

CBS

6. The Big Bang Theory

The initial appeal of The Big Bang Theory centered around nerd culture being quirky and odd, but today, this kind of "otherness" just isn't considered funny anymore.

Each character also has their own specific issues, with Raj's selective mutism being played for laughs, Penny embodying the "dumb blonde" stereotype, and Sheldon's behavior that's exaggerated for comedic effect. In 2025, this sitcom seems repetitive and shallow since it leans too heavily on stereotypes.

Touchstone Television

7. Home Improvement

When it comes to Home Improvement, this show pushed a traditional narrative where men are defined by their roles as the breadwinners and having handyman skills; meanwhile, a woman's value is tied to her appearance and household duties.

Tim Taylor, played by Tim Allen, is a one-dimensional character whose storyline almost totally revolves around his role as the host of "Tool Time," a fictional TV show. Not to mention, there's the "Tool Time girl," a woman whose sole purpose is to stand and look attractive while introducing Tim and his co-host. The lack of depth and outdated gender tropes make Home Improvement a tough watch today.

CBS

8. According to Jim

On a similar note, the show According to Jim features a father, played by Jim Belushi, who embodies traditional gender roles. His behavior doesn't fit the mold of the typical sitcom dad, though, since Jim is always lying to his wife and sister, interrupting others, and acting just plain rude.

In hindsight, Jim's character perpetuates misogyny and being overly macho, something that probably wouldn't fly if made today.

The 'blush-draping' makeup trend is taking the internet by storm, and it's easy to see why. It creates a sculpted, lifted look with minimal effort, highlighting your best features and giving you a soft, natural glow. While typical blush application focuses on the apples of the cheeks, blush draping involves applying it in an upward motion to the temples, blending it toward the forehead, and even in the jaw area. It creates a high-cheekbone effect, adding warmth and a sun-kissed element that feels natural and not overdone. Convinced? We've curated a list of our favorite products to nail the look, from jelly blushes and dewy lip-stains to foundations that provide the perfect base.
