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.
