Shop
around the big online search engines, but also look for the smaller ones,
because they give bigger discounts on occasions.
Compare them and if possible sign on to email
alerts when prices do fall.
2.
Always
book your flights for the weekdays and try to avoid Saturday and Sunday returns
if your schedule permits. Airlines usually charge an extra amount of taxes on
these days. Also most people need to be back for whatever reasons, so there are
cheaper seat classes available (for those who don’t know, even coach seats are
divided in classes to distinguish price levels and promotions).
3.
Talk
to consolidators and ask them for quotes, usually they get flights a bit
cheaper.
This doesn’t work for domestic
flights; only call them to get cheap
international flights. You can find these travel agents in your local
neighborhood, but also on the internet nowadays, for example: www.letsflycheaper.com.
4.
Try
breaking up your flight into segments yourself. If you’re looking for Cheap
Sydney Flights and you’re flying from the East Coast, book a separate
flight to LAX and the one to
Sydney.
Many times this technique has saved people hundreds.
5.
Last
but not least and be sure to do this at your own risk, try waiting when the
prices are high. Don’t panic when the prices shoot up and you still have months
left to book your flight. Airlines know how people behave and they raise the
price accordingly, but they also know that after the hike they still have to
sell their remaining seats.
