Tips to Find Low Airfares
Tip #1:
Make your reservation early.
Many discount fares require that you make a reservation 7, 14 or 21 days in
advance, depending on the fare. The best international fares often require a
reservation 30 days in advance. Making a reservation as soon as you know your
travel dates increases your chances of finding a great fare.
Tip #2:
Flying on a weekday usually costs less.
Air travel departing on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday usually offer the lowest
fares. Fares are sometimes (but not always) higher on Monday and Friday than on
other weekdays. Saturday flights occasionally have discount fares, but as a rule
it's more expensive to fly on a weekend than a weekday.
Tip #3:
Stay over a Saturday night
Most low fares require that you stay over at least one Saturday night before
your return. However, some fares may only require you to stay a minimum
of 3 or 4 days.
Tip #4:
Did we mention you should make your reservation
early?
Airlines sell only a limited number of seats at the lowest fares. When those
seats sell out, the price goes up!
Tip #5:
Consider an airport in the surrounding area.
You may enjoy significant savings if you are willing to fly into nearby
airports. For example, when traveling to Los Angeles (LAX), you may want to
consider flying into the Burbank (BUR), Orange County (SNA) or Ontario (ONT)
airports. Similarly, the cost of a trip to San Francisco (SFO) might be reduced
by flying into San Jose (SJC) or Oakland (OAK), while travel to Miami (MIA) may
be less expensive if you fly into Ft. Lauderdale (FLL).
Tip #6:
Try an earlier or later travel date.
To get the lowest roundtrip fare, the same fare must be available on both the
departing and return flights you select. If the fare is sold out on either of
these, the price you end up with will be much higher. If possible, consider
flying on another date.
