Save Money On Your Next Airline Flight
For the latest deals on airline tickets please see my website at
http://www.vegaskyle.com/airline
There are so many airlines and so many online websites selling
tickets that the prospect of buying the perfect ticket at the
right price seems daunting. When you look at the entire picture,
it does seem overwhelming but if you break the task up into
small and manageable pieces you are sure to get the best price
possible on the airline ticket that you want.
Most importantly- you can save money on your airline tickets
without having to rely on airfare price wars or on travel
agents. The first thing you need to understand is that prices
depend on three factors. Supply, demand, and competition. These
are the same market forces that affect prices in the rest of the
real world.
What increases prices? A decrease in supply, an increase in
demand, or a decrease in competition.
On the flip side, prices decrease when there is an increase in
supply, a decrease in demand, or an increase in competition.
So, here are some secrets...
Call the airline directly just after midnight during the week.
First, there are few people calling at that time of night.
Second, the price changes almost always take effect at midnight.
This isn't as true as it used to be but sometimes still
effective. The internet has caused the airlines to be more
efficient at changing airline prices.
If you have other airports nearby consider using them. This
works not only for destinations but also arrivals. But, consider
all costs involved (parking, cab fare, and of course, your time.
Book your flights as soon as your travel plans can be finalized.
By doing so, you give yourself more options. Some tickets may be
non-refundable so check all of the fine print.
If you find an inefficiency---Where one site is offering the
same flight for less than other sites then you need to jump on
the flight and purchase it now before the inefficiency goes
away. How does this happen? There are 4 different central
reservation systems that various airlines use. They all update
at different times so therefore inefficiencies do often happen.
But, great deals can also be obtained at the last minute. Once
an aircraft has left the airport the empty seat is worthless so
sometimes airlines will, in fact, reward procrastinators for
booking their flight at the last minute. Often, you must be much
more flexible in your travel plans.
Mid-week travel is often cheaper than beginning and end of week
travel. Wednesday is typically the cheapest day to travel
followed by Tuesday and Thursday.
Seasoned travelers may consider the use of split tickets or
one-way tickets to save money. Sometimes, a one way ticket to
your destination and a one way ticket from your destination is
cheaper than the original round-trip. Or, a split ticket can be
used. For example you might fly from your airport to some
intermediary city then from that city to your destination. This
often works better when you can fly into an airline's hub.
Your age can play a factor in airline discounts. Ask for student
or senior citizen discounts. What is the
worst thing that can
happen? In some cases, just one member of the party needs to
qualify for everyone to get the special price.
Military discounts are also a possibility if you or a family
member serves in the military.
Do not be afraid to use the internet to search for the cheapest
flights available. One caveat, not all airlines appear at all
internet search sites. In fact, Southwest appears at none of
them. So, if you are using an internet search engine like
Travelocity or Expedia you will want to get their lowest price
then compare it to Southwest.
Here is what I often do. First, I check airline prices on
Travelocity, then compare it to Orbitz, and then to Expedia. If
I feel adventurous, I go to Priceline and attempt a cheaper
price there. If unsuccessful, I continue by checking the airline
website to ensure it is the best deal. You would want to check
independent airlines like AirTran and Southwest If you would
want to fly them as well.
If you have some time to book your airline ticket you can watch
the Sunday edition of a local paper near an airport for
advertisements from "Bucket Shops" or "Charters".
Bucket Shops buy seats from airlnes that are going to be unsold
at a severe discount. They in turn try to fill them at a profit.
A charter company might actually book an entire flight and crew
for their own customers and hope to fill the plane. The downside
is that they are much quicker to cancel a flight that is
undersold leaving the customers with no way to reach their
destination.
Some additional tips once your flight is booked.
Get extra leg room by flying in the emergency row. Of course,
you must be willing to assist in the event of an emergency. Get
BUMPED! I love to get bumped from an oversold flight if I am not
in a hurry. The compensation can range from cash to a free room
or airline ticket voucher or even a free meal. It is a great way
to get something for just some of your time. Travel as light as
possible. Traveling light allows you to be more flexible if you
need to change flights or get bumped. Check into first-class
upgrades. Sometimes, these can be bought for just $25! Remember,
asking is a no-obligation question. If the price is too high,
just pass. If there is a problem at the airport, use a cell
phone or pay phone to call the airline's central reservations
center. It will be quicker than waiting in line with a whole
plane full of angry passengers and only two clerks.
