 We
invented
it.
We
even
have
a
word
for
it:
cheap
flights-ology.
If
you
want
to
go
away,
but
don't
want
to
spend
a
fortune
to
look
at
cheap
flights,
then
follow
these
recommendations
for
a
life
of
affordable
travel.
-
Shop around for the best deal and be patient for finding cheap flights. One company will never ever always have the cheapest flight price.
-
to get cheap flights, be flexible with your flight times. Try flying on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday rather than at weekends.
-
Generally speaking you will get a cheaper fare by booking early.
-
Remember that travel agents do not search all the low fare airlines to get cheapest flight.
-
To get cheapest flight, be flexible, if possible, with your airports. Flying to or from a nearby or secondary airport can save you money, but remember to add in the cost of getting to the airport and getting from the airport when you land.
-
Always compare like with like: First, watch out for taxes, surcharges and fees. Secondly, some airlines are more comfortable (offering seat allocation, food and drinks) so cheapest flight price is not always the only factor.
There
are
some
other
considerations
for
finding
cheapest
flight.
The
rise
and
rise
of
no-frills
airlines
has
forced
traditional
airlines
to
be
more
competitive.
There
are
advantages
to
travelling
with
a
traditional
carrier
if
you
can
find
a
bargain.
These
include
assigned
seating
so
you
can
avoid
that
scrum
at
the
departure
gates
and
you
may
get
some
kind
of
in-flight
service
too.
If
your
flight
is
cancelled
or
delayed,
the
traditional
airlines
will
be
able
to
get
you
on
another
flight
or
help
you
with
accommodation
for
the
night.
With
the
low-costs,
you
are
on
your
own cheapest
flight.
