Cheap Air Travel: 3 Hot Tips To Get Dirt Cheap Flights
Posted on | December 20, 2009 | 18 Comments
Every year, millions of people all over the world travel by plane. However, there are only a few who know about cheap air travel. If you’re someone who travels a lot, then you’ll be pleased to learn that there are several ways to actually save more than a few good dollars on your airfare.
Cheap air travel is the way to go these days. Bid farewell to high rates and say hello to dream destinations.
Cheap Air Travel Tip # 1: Be Flexible With Your Dates.
Two words define dirt cheap flights – flexible dates. If you insist on flying on a specific date, your airfare is undoubtedly going to cost more.
However, if you have a more flexible schedule, you’ll be able to get the best deals in town. Travelocity, among other travel Web sites, actually have a special section for people who can handle flexible dates.
Cheap Air Travel Tip # 2: Spot the Difference.
The key to inexpensive airfare is knowing which airlines offer the best bargains. Thankfully, you don’t have to call each and every airline in your area to get this information.
These days, a lot of Web sites can tell you what airlines are flying to where, and how much the tickets cost. If you try FareCompare.com, you’ll get a pretty decent score on the best deals.
Cheap Air Travel Tip # 3: Avoid Peak Season Destinations.
Avoid booking flights to places which are popular during the season. For example, trying to schedule a trip to the beach during summer will cost you more than it would during the winter season.
I know you think doing the opposite would be beside the point, but you might be amazed at the novelty of such an experience. You not only get to save money, you also get to experience something different.
Cheap air travel is accessible for anyone who knows how things work. It’s also encouraged that you do your own research before booking a flight. A little knowledge goes a long way. Who knows what bargain deals you might stumble upon?

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'.

cheaptickets.com…. travelocity.com…. expedia.com..the old standby, priceline.com
CAREFUL… cheap means no changes or you pay huge fees to adjust your travel days! Make real sure the schedule you're buying is one you can actually use…

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.

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.

I already posted to one of your questions that is similar to this. Since I don't know which question you will be checking, I'll post it here too. You can definitely find something for less than $1,000. I work in the travel industry, and I always refer my clients and my friends to the website BookMe. You can compare prices on all the major travel websites and save lots of money. Good luck, and check out the link below.
