You have probably read loads of articles concerning cheap flights and airfare deals. However there is always something new that you can learn! These tips are the most basic but still I hope you will find them interesting and useful.
Many people try to save in one quite uncomfortable way - they take their flight in the early morning . This is one of the very simple way how to save. Night and early morning flights are always cheaper so why do you hesitate to take them?
When you book a package - cheap flights with the accommodation at the same time - you can save by buying your package at the last minute sales - as the date of your departure is getting closer the unsold packages are getting cheaper. This can allow you buy the package at the same price (or sometimes even cheaper) than the airline tickets.
There are many traditional and low cost airlines that provides student airfare sales or senior discount. Airfare could be much more cheaper with them. If you are young you can get student low fare flight - and you don't have to be student. Usually, it is enough when you buy airline tickets for ages 18-22. On the other hand, if you are a senior you can enjoy flying and discovering the parts of the world that you haven't visited yet. Some airlines offers special senior discount booklets (e.g. there are 4 one way tickets in one booklet) and some offers e.g. 10% discount of your flight.
But watch out! There is a catch (as always). There are not so many airlines offering student or senior discounts - moreover if you look for airfare deals you can find even cheaper tickets. So always try to find the best alternative.
Another problem is connected with so-called "free" airline tickets. Sometimes you can buy tickets very cheaply thanks to airlines' sales. But always try to find as many pieces of information as possible. If the website says that it is for free - you should count that you will have to pay fees and taxes that could be quite high actually. The very best fares are usually available only for several days and they are gone in a while.
