Secret of getting cheap air tickets is finally disclosed

Cheap air tickets are easy to grab if you keep these few tips and tricks in your mind. Every airline company aims to earn more and more money. So, they are going to display the cheap air tickets out front, so you require knowing about how to find these gold mines on your own.

There are some basic rules that I myself use on a regular basis in order to make my destination as inexpensive as possible.

  • Book your tickets as early as possible. 14 days in advance is considered wise. After this cost of air tickets increase almost double and getting a cheap airline ticket becomes almost impossible.
  • Be thoroughly flexible with your travel time. Altering the day or the time of travel can drastically reduce the cost of your flight. Best day to fly is Wednesday and cheapest time to travel is early morning and late evening.
  • Also flying during off seasons is a great way to secure low cost tickets. The moment the demand goes down, prices also goes down, which is a huge benefit for flyers.
  • Make as point to shop all the airlines. This is most important. Checking various airlines simultaneously can introduce you to those cheap air fares you are after.
  • Membership with some clubs can result in huge savings.
  • Consider air travel packages. Buying your air travel, hotel as well as rental car through the same place usually gives great discounts. Using some known website like globester.com can let you grab low cost airline tickets as well as hotels from the same place in just few fractions of seconds.
  • Indirect flights are another way of saving hundreds of dollars in air fares.

The cost of airline tickets is a result of neck to neck competition, demand and inventory. Competition here is how airlines compete with each other. Inventory implies the number of available seats and demand is number of people looking for airline tickets. Selecting a least crowded flight that is least in demand can get you a cheap airline ticket. It’s that simple!

So, there are plenty of ways to secure better prices. You can surely save a hefty amount of money if you choose a good travel services website and best time and day of flying. This is much easier in practice on all well set up websites where you can compare all the airlines simultaneously. Best of Luck for your best airfare deal!

    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.

    I have found that the cheapest way is generally by check the airlines page or hotel page, and yahoo travel seem to be the cheapest.

    For the purposes of buying airline tickets, those kids are considered adults. You did not indicate your origin or destination city but check the following sites:
    southwest.com
    jetblue.com
    orbitz.com
    kayak.com

    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.

    Priceline.com is the best!!!!

  9. rejix on December 6th, 2009 2:00 pm

    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… :)

Got something to say?
