Buying plane tickets is expensive. Therefore, it is useful for any person who is going to fly to know what to do in order not to overpay for a ticket and not be faced with a choice: not to fly at all or to fly expensive.
Instructions
Step 1
Perhaps the most important point is to buy your ticket in advance. The sooner you think about the travel dates, the better, especially if you manage to do it in 2-3 months. Cheap tickets sell out faster than expensive ones, especially since they usually differ little from expensive ones, except for the conditions of return. Therefore, it is important that you do not doubt your plans.
Step 2
Next, you need to correlate the cost of the ticket and other factors affecting its price. These issues are best discussed with an experienced operator / cashier who can help you save both money and effort.
Step 3
One of the factors is the duration of the flight and the availability of connections. The longer you fly, the cheaper the ticket can be. Simply because it is inconvenient to fly with a transfer. But if you're willing to be patient, the ticket might be cheaper.
Step 4
Also, a ticket with an inconvenient arrival or departure time, or with a long waiting time at the airport, if there is a transfer, may turn out to be cheaper. Here again, the decision is yours: which is more important - time or money?
Step 5
It's cheaper to buy round-trip tickets. Sometimes at times. Also, tickets with arrival and departure on weekdays (best Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday) may turn out to be cheaper. In general, if you can reschedule the travel time within a day or two, this can give you serious cost savings, giving you the opportunity to choose a cheaper option.
Step 6
Sometimes it is worth flying from another city or arriving in a neighboring city, even if later you have to get to the place by train or other ground transport. For example, it is often more expensive to fly from St. Petersburg than from Moscow.
Step 7
Last but not least, it happens that the price depends on the payment method, so see if you can pay for the ticket with a credit card or electronic money.
