There are many options when it comes to finding bare bones airfare for even the most meager budget. You can either purchase a ticket on one of the popular budget airlines, scour the World Wide Web for the best deal, or engage in an alternative form of cheap travel but regardless of all this there are ways to find a cheap ticket. However, keeping the old adage, "you get what you pay for" in mind, flying on a cheap ticket can be anything but luxurious.

The easiest way to find the cheapest flight is to typically sacrifice your travel dates. By keeping a flexible schedule, you are most likely to find the least expensive flight available. However, that being said, having the luxury of a flexible schedule is not always available to all individuals, especially those individuals who have a strict work schedule or are looking to travel to attend a certain event. If you stay flexible t find the cheapest airfare, then this may also find that you need to add extra nights onto your stay, meaning your hotel room and car rental will need to be extended, which costs you more cash.

Many individuals will travel great distances in order to find the cheapest ticket from a nearby airport. But the further you travel the most gas, time, and effort is expended in order to keep the ticket prices down and this is what you need to keep in mind. Before you agree to drive a hundred miles to save money on your flight, consider if the associated travel expenses will outweigh the savings. The same goes for individuals agreeing to fly into airports other than the one of their desired destination.

If you are interested in flying on one of the budget airlines; however, you may be in for quite a surprise. Due to prices, almost all airlines have stopped food service except on international flights or flight to Alaska or Hawaii so often, budget airlines have the same amenities as other airlines.

If you want to travel, then one of the cheapest ways is to sign on to a courier service. By working as a courier, you will accompany a package on the flight and be responsible for meeting the intended party in order to sign over the package. Often, this task will take a few minutes but the savings associated with flying as a courier are extreme. Trans-Atlantic flights are often offered for under $100 or sometimes even free. Of course, your schedule and destination must be completely flexible if you fly as a courier. Also, you will have to wait at the destination in order for another job to come open in order to return home due to the fact that you may not be allowed to travel on a round trip ticket.
