The best times to call an airline are:
• Tuesday to Thursday, between 9am–11am or 2pm–4pm local time
• Avoid Mondays — call volumes are highest
• Avoid early mornings on Fridays (people calling before weekend flights)
• Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter are extremely busy periods
Many airlines now offer a callback option so you don't have to wait on hold. Look for a "Request a Callback" button on the airline's website or ask the automated system when you call.
For international calls, check whether the airline has a local number for your country — calling an international number is often much more expensive than a local one.
