How to Be Smart When Buying Plane Tickets

There are lots of promotions with airfares these days, but you should be smart to get the best deal. Let’s reveal the secrets to get the best airfare deals.

1. Seek at the proper time

Try searching for fares after midnight; this is the time when airlines refresh their computers with huge discounted fares the people booked but did not pay for. If you are only seeking in a rush time fares, search on airline sites, main booking sites, and search engines between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning for tickets over the weekend. Some fares need that you depart on a Saturday and return on Monday or Tuesday. However, some airlines suggest Friday departures and Sunday returns.

2. Check Wide Range of Dates

Online travel agencies like Travelocity and Orbitz have the most extensible search feature of any of the major booking websites. Travelocity will let you look for the lowest round-trip or single domestic or international fare within a span of months., which appears as green dates on a calendar. The website always shows the availability of the dates even if they were sold out. Orbits allows you to look for the lowest fare for the 30-day period. The site has the capability to look for the international flights.

3. Use Search Engines

Mobissimo is able to search 85 U.S. international origins and change international currencies to U.S. currency. Kayak, which is still under beta, can look for 60 sites and will let you arrange airfare results by departure and arrival time. Qixo is best for deals for small companies and reduced airline agencies. Cheapflights allows you to look for extensible dates and offers a calendar with a span of available dates.

4. Reserve Award Tickets Early

It is better to book tickets months in advance. Just to make sure, you can book 330 days in advance.

5. Reserve through Airlines Web Site

Some sites may charge $10 service fee, so if you found the same fare on an online agent like Orbitz and on Airlines own web site, go on and reserve rather than paying an extra charge. Through airline’s website, you can get rid of the service fees which they have implemented themselves. For example, $5 fee through phone booking, $5 to $10 for booking at their offices and airport counters.

6. Avoid Paying Too Much for Change Fees

If you have the chance to change your flight, go directly with the airline. Some aggregators may charge you a fee to change flights. Cheap airlines have much lower change fees.
