Cheap Air Tickets: How to grab them every other day!
Posted on | December 15, 2009 | 9 Comments
Here are some useful tips for a regular traveler looking for discounted air tickets. First and foremost is to start your search for the air ticket way before your planned vacation. Book at least one month in advance, as we all know earlier is always better. You must start doing your homework earlier. Many conditions are involved while making the reservations 14 or 21 days before departure.
Be thoroughly vague regarding your arrival as well as departure dates. Try to grab the lowest cost with the use of your flexibility approach so that you become aware of the best price you can secure without getting rigid on the dates. If money is an important factor for you, then always look for dates that assure you cheap fares. If time factor can be adjusted, availing inexpensive air fares will be much easier. Nobody loves the idea of taking time in the wee hours therefore fares are really cheap during this time interval.
A lot of times, discount air fares have certain restrictions and limitations like 7 to 21 days of advance booking, or may be even Saturday night stay. Try to research more and more about them so that you become aware of your expectations the very next time. Even though you have checked your airline tickets still keep checking them again and again. It’s same like refreshing the system with the help of key F5. Airlines toil to have full planes, so there is always probability of finding discounted seats. Also, there are chances of discounts in some small airlines too that you might have not even heard of.
Increase your horizon of search to such small airline companies as well. Though they mainly have some defined areas flights, they are still quite inexpensive when compared to big and renowned airlines. In case your destination for trip is not too far, they can surely serve you and can be considered. Flying during mid week like Tuesday or Wednesday is a good way to save on tickets.
Another great option is to go through a company that purchases tickets directly from the airline at discounted rates. Search for a reputed consolidator as there are cases of consolidators shutting down overnight, leaving customers empty handed. Also, you can take benefit of student discounts or military discounts if you fall under such categories. One thing to always take care of is to read the rules and regulations of the airline company beforehand, it will save from any kind of trouble later on.

1. Encashing frequent flyer miles is one of my favorite methods to get discount air tickets on subsequent purchases.
2. Online travel services like Orbitz, Travelocity and BookingBuddy allow customers to choose selected flights whenever deeper discounts become available. Other services such as Priceline may allow customers to bid for lower price airline tickets, but they can also require immediate purchase of those tickets or a much more flexible schedule.
3. If you belong to an auto club, or to Sam’s Club or Costco, it is helpful to compare rates there too. Companies like AAA or Costco sometimes offer the best prices for plane tickets online or offline.
4. A travel agency is a time-tested source for discount air tickets. Here the agent can negotiate a package deal to lower the price of airline tickets as long as a specific hotel or car rental is booked.
5. A major airline sometimes uses discounts to encourage the use of its low-price commuter service. Occasionally airlines compete for business through 'fare wars', which may lower the price of tickets by as much as 40%.
The key is to look out for those little-known ways you can travel for cheap without having to forgo the 'luxuries'.

You don't really have much of a choice for domestic air travel in Vietnam, either Pacific Airlines or Vietnam Airlines are your best (and only) options. Air Asia, a large budget airline in Asia is planning on beginning domestic service in the future, but it's still a ways off, but that should help to bring down the costs and provide more options, but for now there isn't much of a choice. You can check online, but is easily arranged once you get to Saigon.

Try Expedia.com . I fly to Europe several times a year and they usually have the lowest prices when I'm looking. Other things you can do to get a lower price…try to fly between Tuesday and Thursday. Weekends are higher. Avoid traveling near a major holiday, if possible. Search for tickets at any time of day if you can be flexible. Certain times of day are more expensive than others. Are you heading to a particular city in Europe or just anywhere cheap? London often has very good flight prices but it's expensive once you get there. There are some budget carriers in Europe that you might be able to use if you are planning to travel around after you arrive. Check out http://www.ryanair.com , http://www.easyjet.com and http://www.bmibaby.com These might allow you to fly to whatever European city you find good fares to and then cheaply move to another location. It's often cheaper that way than booking a US carrier into a less-traveled destination.
