Tips
to find low airfare!
Tip #1: Make your reservation
early.
Many discount fares require that you make a reservation
7, 14 or 21 days in advance, depending on the
fare. The best international fares often require
a reservation 30 days in advance. Making a reservation
as soon as you know your travel dates increases
your chances of finding a great fare.
Tip
#2: Flying on a weekday usually costs less.
Flights departing on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday usually offer the lowest fares. Fares
are sometimes (but not always) higher on Monday
and Friday than on other weekdays. Saturday
flights occasionally have discount fares, but
as a rule it's more expensive to fly on a weekend
than a weekday.
Tip
#3: Stay over a Saturday night
Most low fares require that you stay over at
least one Saturday night before your return
flight. However, some fares may only require
you to stay a minimum of 3 or 4 days.
Tip
#4: Consider an airport in the surrounding area.
You may enjoy significant savings if you are
willing to fly into nearby airports. For example,
when traveling to Los Angeles (LAX), you may
want to consider flying into the Burbank (BUR),
Orange County (SNA) or Ontario (ONT) airports.
Similarly, the cost of a trip to San Francisco
(SFO) might be reduced by flying into San Jose
(SJC) or Oakland (OAK), while travel to Miami
(MIA) may be less expensive if you fly into
Ft. Lauderdale (FLL).
Tip
#5: Try an earlier or later travel date.
To get the lowest roundtrip fare, the same fare
must be available on both the departing and
return flights you select. If the fare is sold
out on either of these, the price you end up
with will be much higher. If possible, consider
flying on another date.
