Tips
to find low airfare!
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: 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).
