With the economy the way it is, it probably seems easier to simply forget about travelling anywhere than it would be to take a trip, especially by air. But don’t give up! There are many tricks you can use to help you get the lowest airfare possible. Here are three quick tips to buying dirt cheap airline tickets you can use right now.
Quick Tip #1 – Purchase your ticket as far in advance as possible (You can’t lose.)
This may seem obvious, but what you may not know is that should the price of your flight go down sometime after you’ve purchased your ticket, the airline will refund that price difference back to you. It’s true! Well, most will. Some airlines will simply give you a discount voucher to use on your next flight. In any case, most people don’t know this and the airlines make a fortune by keeping this secret to themselves.
Quick Tip #2 – Check ticket prices at the other airports in your area.
You may already do this, but even if your next closest airport is a 3, 4, or more hour drive away, you could still save big. Be sure to include the cost of getting to the further airport before deciding to purchase tickets there.
I live in Los Angeles, and the price differences from departing and arriving via the various major airports in the area can be amazing! If you haven’t been doing this, then don’t miss this simple trick for getting dirt cheap airline tickets the next time you fly.
Quick Tip #3 – Plan your flights with a couple of stops.
It may be more convenient (and faster) to fly non-stop, but you’re going to pay higher prices for this convenience. Believe it or not, planning your trip with two or even more stops can save you a ton of money. This is truly a simple way to get dirt cheap airline tickets!
