How To Find The Lowest Airfare   

Note:  No one site sells the best airfares.  To find the best airfares it takes a series of actions to be accomplished during the same  period of time.  Airfare rates change suddenly online, so when you see a price that you are comfortable with, grab it.  

1]  Always try to purchase your tickets as far in advance as possible.  Usually the closer you get to your departure date, the higher the fare will go.   Try to book your travel at least 14 days prior to your departure.  For International flights, especially during the holiday seasons, book 3 to 4 months in advance for great savings.

2)  When searching for International fares,  Consolidators can save you hundreds of dollars on International flights. ( Vayama.com  Save up to 63% on international flights. )  

3] For vacations, it is best to book your hotel,  air and car rental together.   

Cruises offer the best vacation value that travel has to offer.  (Driving to your cruise departure city  saves BIG on your vacation cost]

4)  When booking online,  print out your confirmation and always check the dates and time  of your flight on your confirmation email.   You may be charged an extra fee if you need to change it at a later date. 

5)  If you can, book yourself on the red eye.  These flights are usually less expensive. Try to arrive in the early morning at your destination.  If you are a female traveling alone, especially on International Flights, remain in the airport until the sun rises, then catch a cab/bus to your destination.

6] If you are a senior, ask the airlines for the Senior's Fare.  If they say they do not have a Senior's Discount Fare, ask them what happen to it?  Some US Airlines sell Coupons to passengers age 62 and older.

7]  If two or more persons are traveling, ask the airlines for the 'Companion Fare"

8]  Travel during 'Low Season'.  Your flights, hotels and car rentals are cheaper. When traveling as an independent,  check a Travel Guide (Worldwide) for the best hotels, restaurants, sightseeing tours and other helpful tips] 

9] The best deals are online and with patients, you can find them.  Set up a debt card credit card and use only for booking travel online, that way your primary credit card information isn't used.

10)  Vacations homes can save you 50% off your vacation cost, especially if you are traveling with 2 or more families.  Renting a 4 star villa at $2500 a week is a lot cheaper then staying in a 4 start hotel for a week when the total cost id divided by 3 or 4 families.
