Prepare yourself for flying : Air Travel India
If you are planning to take your family on a holiday this season or going on a business meet out of station then the chances are that somewhere along the way you will be flying. This is a fact that flying today is one of the quickest and easiest methods of traveling and is by and large a comparatively safe and suitable medium.
However, before you leave for the airport, it is advisable to get prepared for the flight well in advance. Unfortunately, many travelers do not understand that preparing for the flight does not just mean packing the luggage but preparation now includes more than that.
You should start preparing as soon as you buy the airline tickets; no matter the flight is two weeks later or after two months. The first step is to get acquainted with the airline that one is flying with and the airport that one will be flying out of. Searching the net can easily do it. You will want to have an idea how early you should leave for the airport and what items you will need to bring along, such as personal identification.
It is also a good thought to review the list of banned items. These are items that are banned on the airplane or past certain points in most airports. The most usually barred items include sharp objects and flammable items, but there other items included in these bans, items that one has never even thought about before.
If you are planning to know about all disqualified items and other airline rules, it may be a good thought to print off a list of what you can find over net. Printable lists of items that are barred in airports and on airplanes can be found online from various websites. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a very well known website for this purpose. A printable list is perfect, especially if you do not need to start packing for your trip right away.
After getting along with the airline rules, including the ones that were newly implemented, you can start packing right away. While packing keep in mind all articles, which you must take all important documents needed during your flight and journey. Make a list of your requirements as well In the event if you are not sure whether or not an item can be brought on an airplane, you are advised to leave it at home. Have a safe and happy journey.

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.
