Is It Still Possible To Find Cheap Airfare?
Now that we are in a time of economic crisis, where all things seems to be more expensive
, one can only ask - is it still possible to find cheap airfare? Surprisingly the answer is still YES!Even if money is a bit tight, people still fly. Hopefully, these tips will help you find a better airfare deal and make your travel budget a little more comfortable.
When searching for the best airfare deals online, there are a number of things that you'll want to take note of. First is to keep your travel dates flexible. Efforts to schedule your flight for a specific day may cause your airfare to increase as much as 300%. It is entirely recommended to adjust your travel days just slightly to save some money.
The next best thing to do after making your travel dates flexible is to book your flight in advance. How far in advance? This depends on your interpretation. Some travel experts suggests that booking a flight weeks in advance is enough, while I in my own experience, observed that booking a month or months in advance will usually give you the biggest savings.
Along with booking your flights in advance, there also is an advantage of knowing which days of the week usually get you the cheapest. As said and observed by many, flying during weekdays (especially Wednesday) will ALWAYS get you a cheaper fare. Weekend flights are usually in high demand and are almost as always expensive. As much as possible, don't fly anywhere on the weekend.
Im not sure if you know this already, but one of the secrets to flying cheap is to look at some flights from a neighboring airport. It's usually very easy to catch a train or a shuttle bus from neighboring airports so it's actually very convenient too. The good thing now is that lots of travel websites already have features that include searches at neighboring airports if you request them to.
This next tip is no secret though. We all know that traveling during holiday seasons will give us the most expensive time to purchase a plane ticket. And whats the best way to handle this? The answer may be a bit of a surprise for you, but actually booking your flight on the actual day of the holiday is the trick. Most folks travel a few days before the holiday and return a few days after. In short, fly on the holiday and you'll get the better fare.
I hope these tips were helpful and will save you a few bucks in the future so youll get to enjoy your travel the cheapest way possible.
