Getting The Cheapest Possible Airline Tickets

For most people, trying to get a good rate on airfare is a necessity.
Most people spend the bulk of their vacation dollars on airfare. So
it's a good idea to put in the time necessary to finding a better deal.



There are a few things to keep in mind while you're researching that
will save you a good bit of money. So these tips will help with getting
better prices.



Be as flexible as you can



If you can leave a few days earlier or later, you can often save
significantly, because cheaper tickets may still be available on a less
popular day. Try to avoid the days most business people like to travel.
For example, Tuesdays and Wednesdays can be much less expensive days to
fly than any other day.



Look into consolidated airline tickets



Consolidators buy tickets in bulk and sell them at a discounted rate to
help airlines fill seats up. You can find ticket consolidators in your
newspaper's travel section or online at sites like Hotwire.com.



You should be aware of the fact that consolidated airline tickets have
more restrictions than others, but could be a really good buy if you're
willing to live with those restrictions. It's best to find out what
those restrictions are so you'll know if you'd like to go that route or
not.



Be aware of hidden costs



Ticket prices are often published without ticketing fees, airport
taxes, security surcharges, etc., which can raise your costs by 10 to
20 percent. Know these fees before you buy your tickets to avoid any
surprise. Read all fine print before giving up your money. It can mean
the difference in getting a really good hotel or a cheap motel.



Check out ticket prices online



Ticket prices can be less than 10 percent or more if you purchase them
online. Several online travel websites also offer package deals for
vacations that include flights, so be sure to shop around and prices
vary from website to website.



If you need cheap airline tickets, these tips work pretty well, as well
as the other tips you can find online. The trick is to take the time to
research well before you buy the tickets. You can often get good prices
if you take your time finding out what's available.
