Top Tips For Finding Cheap Flights
2

• No matter the time of year, a vacation always
  sounds like a nice idea. However, if youre going
  to fly, the cost of the airfare can quickly turn
  that nice idea into an impossible dream. Flying
  can be expensive, but only if you allow it to be.
  Cheap flights are a dime a dozen, but you must
  know where to look and how to look

• For example, you could check several booking
  websites, travel at non-peak times or alter your
  departure time to help you find the best rates
  possible. With a bit of time, effort and
  compromise, there's a great chance you will be
  able to fly to your vacation destination while
  saving some money.

Shop Around

• The key to finding a great deal on anything
  is shopping around, and the shop around theory
  certainly applies to air travel. Shopping at
  major booking websites will give you a general
  idea of the typical rates and restrictions for
  your itinerary, as well as what airlines fly your
  itinerary. The information you find on these
  sites will direct you to the airlines websites,
  which in turn will help compare and find the
  cheapest rates.

• In fact, some airlines guarantee the lowest
  fares can be found on their sites. Additionally,
  search for any promotions or sales on flights to
  your destination. You could also wait for the
  best rates from the major booking sites by
  signing up for text or email alerts whenever
  theres a rate drop.

Track Flight Rates and Buy at the Right Time

• Tracking rates is a great way to get the
  cheapest flight, but there are no guidelines for
  when to stop tracking and make your purchase.
  However, there are some booking sites that
  predict the best time to buy based on whether
  fares are expected to rise or fall. To get the
  best rate, you should also keep track of
  promotions and sales. Most ticket sales launch on
  Tuesdays, so plan to make you purchase as early
  as possible on this day.

7
Book Your Flight Early

• Its always more expensive to book a flight
  during peak travel seasons. Try to plan your
  vacation outside of holidays and peak vacation
  times during the summer. Plan to travel mid-week,
  as increased numbers of travelers cause rates to
  increase later in the week and on the weekend.
  Additionally, when travelling domestically, book
  your flight at least two weeks in advance.

• On the other hand, when travelling
  internationally, book your flight at least three
  to six months in advance. Not only will this help
  you find the lowest rates, itll also give you
  time to get all your documents in order.

• Youll have time to plan your vacation
  itinerary, get a passport or update your current
  one. Most likely, your passport photo will need
  to be updated. For the best results, visit a
  photo studio for passport photos, like PhotoStop.
