Late late at night or early in the morning like before 7:30am EST. Just not during business hours. I know there are specific days during the week that tend to be cheaper but I don't know which days those are. Good luck!

I was just reading something about that a couple weeks ago. They recommended 3 weeks prior to trip is the best time, because that is when the sales are projected out. Then I found this as well:
What's the absolute best time to purchase a ticket directly from the airlines? Turns out it's Wednesday from midnight to 1a.m. in the time zone of the airline's "home base." (For instance, Delta is headquartered in Utah Atlanta and United currently calls Chicago home.) Why? That's when the computer systems of most airlines get rid of the reserved but unbooked lower fare reservations. Most of us at one time or another have booked a reservation, then let it go without purchase. Snap-up these discounted fares right after this happens and you're likely to get a significant discount.

I honestly have no idea. I just go online and pick. But I did find a website that has really cheap airfares because I fly so much. www.airbus.com |

at least a month befor you're planning to fly, and you get better rate if you fly during the week (tue-thur) rather than on the weekends.
