5 Tips To Get Cheap Airline Tickets
Filed Under Cheap Airline Tickets, Cheap Ticket Tips | Leave a Comment
Here are 5 tips to help you get cheap airline tickets.
Tip 1
Stay flexible when you are scheduling flights to get the best deals. Usually, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays are the days with the cheapest flights.
In addition, the following types of flights are often discounted as well:
- late-night flights
- early morning flights
- flights with at least one stop
Note that standby fares work better if you’re flying off-season, because during high season most airlines overbook flights, making it difficult to find a standby seat.
Tip 2
Read and watch the news to stay up to date on airfare trends, special offers and limited-time promotional fares.
Tip 3
Always get comparison ticket prices from so-called consolidators. These organisations buy blocks of tickets and then sell them at a discount to help the airlines fill up all the available seats.
Consolidator fares offer a great deal most of the time, although . However, sometimes airline fare wars and special promotions mean you can get cheaper from the airlines direct.
As with regular airfares, consolidator tickets can sell out quickly and may not be available all of the time.
Examples:

- www.airlineconsolidator.com
Tip 4
Look for travel packages as a way to save money in other areas of your trip. If you can bundle a rental car or hotel at a discount along with the airline ticket, you’ll pay les soverall than buying the items individually.
Also, it can be cheaper to stay with the same airline for your entire trip to so you get round-trip or connecting fare discounts.
Tip 5
Book as early as you can. At the least, purchase advance-ticket discounts 21 days ahead. Book earlier for major vacation flights. Most flights get full in November and December.
Also if you want to use frequent-flier miles, holiday ‘blackout periods’ can prevent you from using them.
Good shopping!
