I was looking at the academic calendar in order to figure out the days that I should buy my plane tickets for. The cheaper tickets leave early morning on Saturday, but the calendar says that final exams end on 5 p.m. that Saturday the 22nd.

In current and former students’ assessments, how often or common is it that a class has a final that falls on Saturday? Would it be safer to buy the later tickets, or just go the for early Saturday morning ones, since Saturday finals (hopefully) are uncommon?

Thanks.
