How to Find Cheap Air Flights – Great Strategies To Save More
Posted on | December 12, 2009 | 9 Comments
When it comes to learning how to find cheap air flights, there is a specific mindset you must endure before being successful. Remember the tortoise always beat the hare, and there was a good reason for this saying. If you are persistent and patient you will achieve success in just about anything. Anyone if they have the money when traveling, you will. I’m going to show you some secrets that I know, which I probably shouldn’t be telling you about finding cheap airline deals.
The first thing I must say, I wouldn’t call this a secret why you must be flexible. I say this because there have been many times where individuals would limit themselves to a specific date and time and they would have to settle for the extremely high price plane tickets. Don’t limit yourself to certain times, this will only hurt your wallet in the long run.
In order to learn how to find cheap air flights, you have to keep your options open. By this I mean never settle for the first deal you see and always look for third-party ticket site online. My favorite sites are Travelocity, cheaptickets, and Priceline.com. You should never limit yourself to just these sites, but I’ve seen many great deals here.
Try to avoid booking with a direct airline company. You will notice that their main goal is to squeeze every last penny you’ve got out of you. There actually trained to do this, and you should consider looking online and checking for a good travel agent. But don’t put it past me because there have been many good deals through direct airline companies when asking for a family or special deal programs. remember never rely on one source.
If you’re thinking about changing tickets in the airport, don’t bother waiting on the long check-in lines. If you haven’t noticed yet at the gates they always have a charge card imprinted handy, just in case you want to change the last minute flight or if you are very early or you missed your flight.
These are just a couple of the tips that you can use in order to save money and time on your travel. There are tons more effective ways to learn how to find cheap air flights.

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'.

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.

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…
