Travel Tips - Get Cheap Airline Tickets

Được đăng bởi Travel - Leisure

If you fly frequently, consider joining a frequent flyer program.

Frequent flyer programs can offer long-term discounts, so don't always buy the cheapest ticket. You could end up saving money once you factor in the free tickets that you eventually qualify for. Try to imagine how many trips to Singapore it would take to accumulate enough frequent flyer miles just to get a free domestic ticket, which is why this is an especially good strategy for those who often fly overseas.

Have you checked the airline's own websites?

Restricting yourself to the major airlines is not your only option. There are national and regional carriers that offer cheap airfare as well. For example, China airlines might offer cut-rate airfare to Beijing.

Try checking online travel agencies

Since travel agents would buy in bulk from the airlines so they are able to purchase tickets at a discount, what they can often offer you are cheaper rates than the airlines.

Being flexible

Cheap airfares are often available only on certain days and require you to stay a certain minimum time.

Try the small agents in ethnic enclaves.

For example, if you want a ticket to Japan and you live in a big city, then go to Little Tokyo and check out the small agencies. Little Italy is what you could check out if you want to go to Rome.

Book in advance.

Tickets booked in advance are normally cheaper than last minute purchases.

How about buying an air courier service?

Companies that buy your luggage allowance in exchange for discounted tickets are called air courier services. Although they are the cheapest tickets available, they are usually reserved for international travel. But one thing to remember is that a carry-on luggage is what you may only bring.

Becoming a student.

With an International Student ID Card, you could get lots of places cheap.

For the adventurous ones, you can also bring along a parachute and stop anywhere you like and offer to pay your way aboard an unregistered cargo plane by mopping the deck and cleaning toilets.
