How To Find Cheap Flights

These are simply listed in point format to make it easier for you to read right through to the end. Of all the reviews I’ve written online these are my major points to consider.

Book in advance

Making an early booking is one way of getting a cheap flight. Do not wait until the last minute or else you will be charged “last minute” fees, which are normally exorbitant. Booking early is always an advantage even as early as 10 weeks if possible..

Travel midweek

The best time to travel is midweek. That is, from Monday to Thursday. After this it can get really costly. Most people tend to want to fly over the weekends making them peak periods, if you want cheap flights consider mid week flights.

Book indirect flights

One thing is certain – direct flights are pricey. This comes with the convenience of direct flying. If you are looking for the cheapest flight then do not even think about direct flights.

Travel in winter

If you’ve ever taken the time to look at airfares during different times of the year you will see that winter fares are much cheaper. This is because winter is considered off peak in South Africa i.e. midyear since we are in the Southern Hemisphere.

Travel at night

Most flights do occur during night times. However there are also day-flights, which you must avoid if you want to fly cheap. It always a good idea to double check however as sometimes the day flights might be offering a discount.

All this information including up to date air fares is available at any one of these. Do take your time to check out more resources on this site and on the web:
