Tips To Find Cheap Flights

Posted: December 1st, 2009 | Category: Travel and Leisure

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. leaving your booking for the last minute will result in late bokking charges which are usually high. The earlier you book the better. Try 10 weeks in advance if you can.

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. So the convenience of flying diredt comes at an expense.. If you are looking for the cheapest flight then do not even think about direct flights.

Travel in winter

If you ever compared flights in summer and winter then you’d know that winter prices are 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. However, it is always best to compare these flights just incase there is a discount being offered by the day-flights.
