Finding last minute airfare deals can be a difficult task if you are
traveling to a popular destination at a busy time of year. Typically,
the best way to get access to flight bargains is by purchasing your
tickets as far in advance of the travel date as possible. However,
sometimes you can find great deals if you wait until the last minute
to buy your tickets. Flexibility is the key to finding the best deals.
Airports are the least crowded early in the morning and late at night
so try to find flights during those times. Be open to departing the
day before or after your target date because you can get significant
savings that way. You can also increase the odds of finding great
airfare bargains by being flexible about the airline you fly on and
the airport which you depart from. You may have to sacrifice
convenience in favor of saving money.
Shop Around
Don't settle for the first deal you lay eyes on. There are a number of
sites that post travel deals and a little searching can save you a lot
more money. To make it easier to find deals, use a travel deals
website that sends you alerts each time a new, relevant travel deal is
announced. This way you can keep track of all the new deals coming in
and book the best deal.
Check Out Travel Packages
Sometimes it is cheaper to buy a travel package that includes airfare
and hotel rather than just airfare alone. In some circumstances, you
can book both the hotel and the flight for less than what the flight
alone costs! The only issue is that the hotel rates included in these
travel packages are usually meant double occupancy but they are
perfect if you are planning to travel with a companion.
Search for Deals on Saturday Mornings
A great time to search for last minute airfare deals is on Saturday
mornings because airfare analysts make mistakes and tend to offer
incredibly low prices at the end of the week.
Fly Midweek
Schedule your trip so that you depart midweek and return midweek in
order to take advantage of the best deals. It is almost always more
expensive to travel on the weekends. In fact, you can save up to 25%
just by traveling on weekdays instead of weekends.
Check Out Student/Youth Airfares
If you are a student, take advantage of student airfares. Student-only
airfares are usually very affordable and you can find tickets to
destinations all over the world. Even if you aren't a student, you can
find great deals as long as you are not older than 25.
Look for Airports Nearby
Are you traveling to a large metropolitan area? If so, consider flying
into a smaller airport nearby if it's possible. For example, if you
are going to New York City, fly to Newark airport instead of the
busier airports of LaGuardia and JFK.
