How To Book Cheap Flights by webprince(m): 12:32pm On Jul 11, 2015 |
Booking travel is so easy to do, yet all too often we wind up spending more than we wanted. Thank fee-happy airlines for that— there's no limit to what they'll charge for, from meals to checked bags and flimsy pillows. According to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, airlines made $3.3 billion in baggage fees alone in 2011. Test the 24-hour rule After you book, check the next morning to see if the price of your airfare fell. If it did, give the airline a call to cancel your flight and often you can rebook without penalty. Take last-minute trips Airlines are known to cut prices when they can't fill planes for an upcoming weekend trip. On Tuesday, they'll email offers for the coming weekend or following one to fliers who signed up for alerts. Travelers can leave Friday night or anytime Saturday, then return on Monday or Tuesday. Chase the fare, not the destination Kayak's explore tool is useful for searching multiple airline fares at a time. You'll instantly see a map with all the destinations listed under a set budget. Fly two different airlines Sometimes it's worth it to mix and match. Most airlines now sell one-way flights at reasonable prices, meaning one might be cheaper for the outbound flight while the other works better for the return. You could even fly to one airport and depart from another. Become a frequent flier It pays to cozy up to your airline of choice. Become an elite member of the airline's frequent-flier program or use a credit card that's tied to the airline to get a leg up on other travelers, says U.S. News' Daniel Bortz. Likewise, if you're using a credit card that offers rewards, check to see if those rewards can be redeemed for miles or travel gift cards. Search for deals in the morning Early morning is the time you'll see the most deals, says Bortz, although some airlines release discounted tickets throughout the day. Book six weeks in advance A revealing study from Airlines Reporting Corporation found that the best time to purchase your airfare is about six weeks prior to travel. The reason: Around this time, prices drop below the average fare. more >>> www.livinglifeng.com |

webprince: Honestly, that's the greatest truth about flight booking. Once you've confirmed you'd travel, even if it's 3 months in the future, book your flight and save yourself the stress. Personally, I compare flight prices and hotel prices using https://www.atlanticride.com That way, I don't have to pay travel agents. �� |
