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: Did we mention you should
make your reservation early?
Airlines sell only a limited number of seats at the lowest fares.
When those seats sell out, the price goes up!
Tip #5: 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 #6: 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.
