Traveling by plane is more attractive for a tourist than by train, because it takes less time and allows you to get anywhere in the world. The disadvantage of such a trip is its cost, but if you take care of tickets in advance or take advantage of a special offer, you can save a lot.
Instructions
Step 1
Check regularly for special offers from specific airlines. To do this, you need to visit the official website of the carrier and find the section dedicated to promotions. As a rule, special offers apply to those flights for which a small number of tickets are sold.
Step 2
Subscribe to the airline newsletter. You will receive letters about promotions or special holiday rates by e-mail. This will keep you informed if there is an opportunity to purchase a ticket at a low price.
Step 3
Use the services of specialized sites. To do this, in any search engine enter "cheap flights" or set a route, for example, "Moscow - Barcelona". On the selected site, you will see the offers of various airlines, they can be sorted by price, number of connections, total flight duration, provided that the flight is connected. You can also book and issue a ticket there.
Step 4
Purchase tickets in advance. Flights are planned by airlines for up to six months, prices for flights that occur in the long term are usually lower. However, in this case, there is a possibility that the airline will go bankrupt before you use its services. This was the case with the Hungarian company Malev and the Russian Sky Express Avianova.
Step 5
Join the airline's bonus program. The most effective projects are organized jointly with banks. By paying with a card issued by a specific financial institution, you accumulate points, which can then be converted into miles and accepted for payment for the ticket. Among the Russian air carriers offering such services, one can single out Aeroflot, Transaero, S7.
Step 6
When planning a trip abroad, develop your own itinerary. Often, when buying tickets from a foreign carrier, you can significantly save financial resources. The disadvantage of such a trip is the need to make a stopover in another European city. For example, a flight to many European cities can be carried out with Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) with a transfer in Kiev.
