The website claims it is the cheapest day to fly this month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The search engine processes more than one billion queries annually and has concluded that prices have been driven back by superstition based on search trends from around the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Today is the only Friday 13th in 2014.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The day apparently worries fliers in other European countries too, with prices on Friday 13th being the cheapest over the whole month in France, Austria and <a title=\"Car Hire Sweden\" href=\"https:\/\/thealternativeagency.co.uk\/indigo\/worldwide-car-hire\/sweden\/\">Sweden<\/a> also.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The average price of domestic return flights in <a href=\"https:\/\/thealternativeagency.co.uk\/indigo\/worldwide-car-hire\/france-car-hire\/\">France<\/a> dropped by \u00a353 on Friday 13th and in<a href=\"https:\/\/thealternativeagency.co.uk\/indigo\/worldwide-car-hire\/austria\/\"> Austria<\/a> by \u00a324. Swedes seem to be the most nervous fliers, with the average price of a domestic flight on that day there falling by \u00a389.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For domestic return flights in the <a href=\"https:\/\/thealternativeagency.co.uk\/indigo\/uk-car-hire\/\">UK<\/a>, the average prices either side of this Friday were \u00a3258 on Wednesday 11th , \u00a3239 on the 12th, \u00a3203 on Saturday 14th and \u00a3223 on Sunday 15th.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fear of Friday 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia as we have discussed on our blog before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some hotels don&#8217;t number their 13th floor but give it a name instead, such as the &#8220;pool floor&#8221; at the Radisson Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just how superstitious are travellers? Not enough to convince airlines to do away with row 13 in their cabins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA lot of the rumours are simply urban myths in the aviation industry,\u201d a British Airways spokesman said. \u201cAll our aircraft have a row 13.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He went on to suggest that British Airways flights do not follow the booking pattern that the flight booking website discovered either.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cPrices are not cheaper on Friday 13th,&#8221; he added, &#8220;if anything they usually go up slightly at the end of the week due to demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What do you think? Would you be worried to travel on Friday the 13th or would you be happy to save a few pounds and have the plane to yourself?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is Friday the 13th is the most economic day to get on a plane, an airline booking site has said, suggesting that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[233,320,336,618],"class_list":["post-20227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fun-stuff","tag-cheap-flights","tag-flights","tag-friday-the-13th","tag-superstition"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
