How to find Cheap Airline Tickets
Here are some tips to keep in mind when searching for a ticket, regardless of whether you are using a travel agent or the Internet:
- Start your search as early as possible.
While better rates may come along, it'll give you a starting point.
- Stay vague about your dates.
Ask for the lowest fare, saying that your dates are flexible. That lets you know the best fare you could get so you can change your dates if price is the most important factor.
- Keep checking.
It behooves airlines to have full planes, so they may add discount seats without warning. A flight you might have given up on could yield you a seat if you checked back in a day or two or even a week or month later.
- Use your students status.
Get an International Student ID Card from our office, and get all the student discounts.
- Ask about other airports.
Look into secondary airports outside the city or even in a nearby city that is less popular.
- Fly on a mid-weekday.
Fridays and Mondays are the most expensive times to fly. And weekends are obviously in high demand. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the cheapest days to fly.
