EXPERT TIPS TO BOOK CHEAP FLIGHTS SUCCESSFULLY
Finding the best flight deals is no longer about simply shopping around although we always recommend you compare prices before you book. Get the full facts about how to find the best deal from industry experts and travel bloggers and learn a few new travel hacks to make sure you get a flight at a price that fits your budget.
Book early
Do you remember a time when last minute flights were cheap? Back in the good old days you could book last minute flights for next-to-nothing. If the airlines struggled to fill seats they’d rather make a small profit than no profit at all so you’d find flights for less.
Delete your browsing history
Have you ever noticed that every time you go back to check the price of a flight, the price has risen ever so slightly? That’s because your internet history is traced. When the website you’re checking realizes you want that flight they start upping the price especially if it’s the 10th time this week you’ve checked the price! They’re sneaky buggers.
Always use flight comparison websites
Always, always, always start your search with a flight comparison site. The sites will help you find the best airline, dates and routes and then I delete my browsing history and book directly through the airline.
Look out for airline sales
Lots of airlines have huge sales and January is a good time to keep your eyes peeled for them. Sign up to receive email updates from airlines and you’ll receive the best flights direct to your inbox.
Sign up for email updates
While we’re on the topic of signing up for emails, just sign up for as many as you can. I know, I know, no one wants their inbox filled with junk but if you keep on top of your emails, this is the best way for someone to do all the hard work for you when it comes to finding cheap flights.
Be flexible with dates
This is another reason to book your flights a long way in advance so you can be flexible with your flight dates.
Travel in the shoulder season
The shoulder season is the time between the peak season and the off-peak season. Think May, June and October. This is when flights and hotels will be cheaper, there are fewer crowds and the weather will be pretty good too.
Fly with different airlines
Sometimes one airline will be cheaper on the way out and another will be cheaper on the way home. You may even cut costs by flying to different airports all together. If you’re travelling long haul and have a layover, it may be best to choose a different airline for the second leg of your journey although you should leave yourself plenty of time between flights.
