Finding Economical Airline Tickets

Hello all,

Any advice when it comes to booking cheap airline tickets?  Of course beyond searching the normal online travel sites.  

 Thanks,

Amy Jo

Re: Finding Economical Airline Tickets

  • If you are looking for a specific destination you can put a query in on airfarewatchdog.com.
  • I'm a fan of Kayak.com.  They give you price trend information that shows what the fares have been like over time along with advice about whether they expect fares to go up, drop, or stay the same.  You can also set up an alert to get daily far e-mails for the route/date you are looking for. 

    Some airlines, like Southwest, do opt-out of these sites and you have to search seperately on their sites.

    Flying mid-week

    Flying during off-peak seasons

    Booking at least a month in advance and typically around 6 weeks out (more for holidays) 

    Flying LCCs as long as you know what you're getting into

    Searching flights for a bunch of destinations on the days you're looking to travel and choosing to go wherever the best deal is.  Skyscanner.net can be good for this, since they allow you to do searches without specifying a destination, but I think it works better for flights within Europe.
