Air travel allows the travel consumer to reach their
destination in the least amount of time. But sometimes it can be costly.
But if while planning your next travels you follow these guidelines, you
will get airline tickets at a low price.
Reserve the tickets for your travel well in advance
and you will get the low price you want for your airline ticket. The
general rule is to book at least two to six weeks before your planned
departure. Also, plan to fly on a Tuesday or Wednesday and you will pay
less.
To keep the price of your airline tickets low, you
will need to be an alert online shopper. Remember to go online often
comparing the prices of many airline tickets. The best place to shop for
the lowest priced tickets is at one of the online travel company’s. They
buy their supply of tickets in bulk which allows them to sell it at the
lowest price.
Another option to consider is the economy airlines.
Some airlines make their reputation through their low ticket prices.
Often, a large expensive international airliner company will also have
an economy airline. An example of this is Air Canada (the expensive
parent airline) and Jazz (the economy airline). There is good and bad to
be had with this situation. The bad is that the seats and leg room is
minimal on this airliners, the good is you get the lowest airline ticket
prices.
To pay low airline ticket prices, pick the last daily
flight to your destination; otherwise known as the red eye flight. Not
many people like to fly during the night so the demand for tickets is
always low which means the prices are also low.
If you are going to buy you airline tickets from the
airline, then it is best to call the airline at midnight. This is when
the specials are first posted and you will get the low airline ticket
price you want. Do not forget to ask if you qualify for special status
like student, seniors, children, bereavement, or Armed forces.
Use a gateway airport for your departure. You can
often find low priced airline tickets to gateway cities cheaper than the
airline tickets to another city. So if you’re traveling to a city that
is not a gateway airport--which is a large International airport--
consider if it would be more advantageous to fly to the closest gateway
airport and commute.
Chose an airline you like and sign up to their email
alerts, Facebook, Twitter, or their mailing list. Most airlines now have
these services and you can sign-up on their home page. The airline will
send you, hourly, daily, or weekly updates of their low airline ticket
pricing.
