How to Save on Airfare
By Tony Morrison
Traveling has become drastically easier for consumers to locate great deals since the rise of the internet. Use these five helpful tips below to help save on your airfare travel.
Tip #1 -Book In Advance - Airlines will offer you a better fare if you book for flight in advance. The reason for this is that they are pushing for people to book as soon as they can. Airlines do not like the idea of an overflow of people trying to book flights just before the last minute. Another reason behind this is the airline needs to plan ahead of time how much space for baggage is needed for the flight, and the amount of food they would have to carry. If you book ahead of time, the airline will have time to configure this cost, as opposed to booking on the last minute.
Something else to note is that most people who book their flights on the last minute are more often than not, on business trip, and as a result the business is paying for the flight. People who just fly for personal purposes will most likely know in advance when they are going to fly. These people cannot manage to pay the prices that big businesses can afford. As a result, airlines will offer much more expensive tickets to customers who book their flights on the last minute. In order to avoid paying higher costs, book your flight ahead of time, as early as you can. I would suggest at least 1 month in advance. Do not book any later than a week before flying.
Tip #2 - Fly At Irregular Times - Most people who fly on a business trip will begin their flight some time between 9 AM and 5 PM. Those who fly for personal purposes are more likely to fly at extreme times of the day. If you book your flight at an inconvenient time of the day (anywhere that isn’t between 9 AM and 5 PM, you are more likely to receive a cheaper ticket
Tip #3 - Stay Over A Weekend - People who are traveling for the purpose of a business will usually not stay over for a weekend. Business travelers often travel on one of the weekdays, usually on a Monday. People who travel for personal purposes are more likely to stay over for a weekend Saturday and Sunday night. As a result, airlines are more likely to provide you a better deal if you stay over for a weekend. Avoid flying on a Monday or Friday. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the cheapest days to fly.
Tip #4 - Avoid Holidays - It is also very crucial about the time that you make your reservation. If you reserve your flight for a couple days just before the Christmas holiday, you are more likely to be asked for a higher price. After the major holidays come to pass, airlines will lower their fare prices. As a result, you will be eligible for a cheaper ticket if you book your flight right after the major holidays.
Tip #5 - Check for Reduced Rates - Sometimes tickets will lower from the time you bought your ticket. If you realize the ticket of your flight has been reduced since the day you purchased it, give the airline a call to discuss that situation. Most definitely they will refund you with the difference in your purchase. Sometimes, airlines will even offer you free vouchers toward future ticket purchases if you ask.
