Very often you can hear that various airlines hold promotions to reduce the cost of air tickets, arrange sales. But now you need to buy air tickets in the right direction - and where are these promotions and sales? Ticket prices have skyrocketed to the same altitude as planes fly. It is not so easy to buy a cheap air ticket - but also not so difficult. There are some rules, guided by which, you can choose an excellent option in almost any direction.
Instructions
Step 1
Buy tickets in advance. The closer to the departure date, the more expensive the tickets - this rule applies to almost all airlines. 2-3 months is the optimal time for buying tickets. Even a month before the flight, you can still find good options, but a week or a few days before - that's only if you're very lucky.
Step 2
Buy both tickets at once, so it comes out cheaper. Many companies, when buying round-trip tickets, display the total cost of air tickets slightly less than if you buy them separately. The difference can be up to 10% of the total cost.
Step 3
When planning your vacation, choose dates when it will not be the season for flights in this direction. This does not mean that the place where you are going will be bad at this time. For example, summer is the holiday season, when beaches and resorts in all countries are packed, and it is almost impossible to buy cheap tickets. But here is the velvet season - the most pleasant, according to many people, the time to relax - and hotels are already empty, and travel agencies and airlines arrange promotions and sales.
Step 4
If you really want to find cheap flights, be prepared to take the time. Here the quality, cost and convenience of the options you choose will be directly proportional to the efforts spent on the search. After exploring several sites and calling the airlines, you are sure to find what you were looking for.
Step 5
When looking for the most convenient and cheap flights, look at the offers on the sites that collect information about discounts. They are called aggregators, there are a lot of them. Such sites collect information about cheap flights, vouchers, discounts and promotions, including those carried out by travel agencies. It may happen that tickets on the airline's website are more expensive than they can be purchased on the aggregator: this is some travel agency arranged a sale.
Step 6
Try to fly with airlines that position themselves as budget. Otherwise, they are called low-cost or air-discounters. True, you need to be careful with them: all "additional" services, such as luggage, insurance, meals on board, are paid. Moreover, the booking system will first include all these services for you in the ticket price, and not forgetting to refuse them is already your concern.
Step 7
Choose days for your flight that do not fall on holidays and weekends. At this time, almost all airlines are trying to raise prices for their flights, so it is unlikely that it will be possible to buy a cheap ticket.
