Tips to Get Airline Travel Discounts

We all need to get away. Our vacations are the one thing that we look forward to all year. Unfortunately what happens sometimes is that we tend to feel the stress of how am I going to afford the vacation that I?ve been dreaming about? Well I hope that with a few of my tips, you will be able to get some airline travel discounts.

Here are some tips to find the lowest fare air ticket:

• Buy tickets 3-5 months before your departure date

Some airlines offer discounts for early buyers. It?s also best to buy your tickets at least 20 days in advance to ensure the best seating possible, most discounted tickets sell out fast. You should also know that Airline Tickets are subject to price increase, especially during Christmas season, so buying early avoids further ticket increase.

• Never fly on weekends

If you?re planning a trip, plan to leave on weekdays, preferable Monday to Wednesday. Weekends are high traffic times, for travelers and would probably cost you an additional $25-$40 increase.

• Don?t travel During Peak season

Airlines tend to increase ticket prices during Peak travel season due to the increase in demand. Traveling during low season is also advantageous if you want to avoid airport and tourist spot crowds. If you really have to travel during peak season, consider leaving home early and going home late to avoid the rush.

• How long to Stay

Yes your travel stay also affects airline ticket prices. Airlines give discounts if you stay at least a week at your destination and return within 90 days.

• Consider a Connecting Flight

Contrary to popular belief, direct flights aren?t always the cheapest. Some people have saved up to $1000 dollars on booking connecting instead of Direct flights. If you don?t have a lot of luggage, and aren?t very particular with time, it is best, and a lot cheaper to book a connecting flight instead of direct.

• Use the senior citizen discount

Some Airlines offer the same senior Citizen discount for the companions of the Senior Citizen. Ask if it?s available.

• The Early Bird gets the Airline Ticket

Call Airlines at 12:01 am on Wednesday mornings. This is when airlines release all the new fares and seat plans. You can be first and choose the best and cheapest tickets at this time.

• Shop on the Internet

The best feature of the internet is that you see all available Prices from a very convenient place, your home. You won?t have to canvass travel agencies. Some internet sites even offer internet only discounts that you can benefit from if you use their services.

• When you do shop on the internet

Check first with travel agents regarding prices, Internet prices aren?t always the cheapest, it?s best to ask a good old travel agent. It won?t hurt to look at news papers too, as some airlines publish discounts on print. If you?re planning to buy more than 6 months in advance, it?s probably best to ask a travel guide as internet sites don?t usually have schedules for longer than six months.

Airline travel discounts are everywhere; you just need to know how to find them! I hope that with these tips, that?s exactly what you are going to be able to do. Now go out there and get that lowest fare air ticket! Happy travels.
