Keys To The Cheapest Airfare
Tips to get Travel Airline Tickets Cheaper
Buy tickets 3-5 months before your departure date
Some airlines offer discounts for early buyers. It's also best
to buy your tickets at least 20 days in advance to ensure the
best seating possible, most discounted tickets sell out fast.
You should also know that Airline Tickets are subject to price
increase, especially during Christmas season, buying early
avoids further ticket increase.
Never fly on weekends
If you're planning a trip, plan to leave on weekdays, preferable
Monday to Wednesday. Weekends are high traffic times, for
travelers and would probably cost you an additional $25-$40
increase.
Don't travel During Peak season
Airlines tend to increase ticket prices during Peak travel
season due to the increase in demand. Traveling during low
season is also advantageous if you want to avoid airport and
tourist spot crowds. If you really have to travel during peak
season, consider leaving home early and going home late to avoid
the rush.
How long to Stay
Yes your travel stay also affects airline ticket prices.
Airlines give discounts if you stay at least a week at your
destination and return within 90 days.
Consider a Connecting Flight
Contrary to popular belief, direct flights aren't always the
cheapest. Some people have saved up to $1000 dollars on booking
connecting instead of Direct flights. If you don't have a lot of
luggage, and aren't very particular with time, it is best, and a
lot cheaper to book a
connecting flight instead of direct.
Use the senior citizen discount
Some Airlines offer the same senior Citizen discount for the
companions of the Senior Citizen. Ask if it's available.
The Early Bird gets the Airline Ticket
Call Airlines at 12:01 am on Wednesday mornings. This is when
airlines release all the new fares and seat plans. You can be
first and choose the best and cheapest tickets at this time.
Shop in the Internet
The best feature of the internet is that you see all available
Prices at a very convenient place, your home. You won't have to
canvass travel agencies. Some internet sites even offer internet
only discounts that you can benefit from if you avail of their
services.
When you do shop on the internet
Check first with travel agents regarding prices, Internet prices
aren't always cheap, it's best to ask a good old travel agent.
It won't hurt to look at news papers too, as some airlines
publish discounts on print. If you're planning to buy more than
6 months in advance, it's probably best to ask a travel guide as
internet sites don't usually have schedules for longer than six
months.
