My Airfare Secrets                                                               Bookmark I have put together the best ways you can find the cheapest plane tickets to most destinations.                                                                                                                  1) Spend serious time ay the big travel websites where you can usually find great deals. 2) When searching for a discounted plane ticket at a major travel website, play around with different dates of leaving and returning as well as different times. You'll be amazed how much money you may save through this simple method. 3) If you are flying to another country, book a one way ticket there. When you arrive at your destination, buy your one way return ticket; usually at the country you are visiting, the plane tickets are cheaper. 4) Book online instead of offline; you'll save money from the paper processing fee. 5) Clear out your cookies. Why? Many travel websites use the cookies to log when you search for a particular route and will quote you higher when you return to that site to search again. 6) Many airline websites update their airfare shortly after midnight. A little research about the route you are looking will help you get the best airfares before they are sold. 7) Stay less than 30 days. Most airfare tariffs have a month's limitation stay restriction. If you require more time, you will pay a higher priced ticket. 8) If you are traveling with a child under 2 year of age, your child is qualified to travel for free. Buying a separate seat for your child is really expensive. 9) Be ready and open to have different departure and return dates. Mark "anytime" in the search window. 10) Buy flight tickets during the off-season periods; flight tickets are usually cheaper. 11) Buy flight tickets in advance; you can save a lot. 12) Buy from an air courier service; these are companies that will buy your luggage space in exchange for lower-priced tickets. 13) If you fly a lot, join a frequent flyer program; such a program offers long-term discounts. 14) Buy a round-trp ticket; it is cheaper than a one-way ticket. 15) Fly midweek: Flights that leave during midweek are generally cheaper because of the decreased demand; do not fly on Fridays or Sundays. 16) Fly early mornings or late evenings; these are less busy and often can be less expensive. 17) Use a wholesaler: a wholesaler buys airfare tickets at extremely low rates and pass on the ticket price difference onto the consumer.   My Airfare Secrets                                                               Bookmark
