Deep Discount Airfare – 5 Ways to Get a Great Deal Every Time You Fly

Samantha J Taylor asked:




In this short guide, I’d like to share with you my top five strategies to help you get a deep discount airfare for your next trip. These are all strategies that i use personally on a weekly basis. If followed, I guarantee that you will save money on your flights.

1. Comparison Sites

These are a really good resource that will save you money and time. Simply input your requirements, that is the date of travel, departure airport and your destination. Within just a few seconds, you will have various flight and price options on your screen. I strongly advise that you check at least three of these sites though as prices do vary, sometimes quite dramatically!

2 Night Flights

Though most people would prefer not to fly during sleeping hours, there are often massive savings to be made here. If you compare the price of day time flights to their night flight equivalent then you will see exactly what i mean.

3 Travel Agents

A much under used resource these days, and if you are looking for a great deal, then overlook these people at your peril! Since the advent of the internet people always assume they can get a better flight deal on the web rather than an agent, and they are usually right, but not always! Deep discount airfare is not exclusive to the world wide web. Occasionally travel agents get some really ‘hard to beat’ deals from various airlines, so it is always worth the price of a call to check before you book elsewhere.

4 Single Tickets

Most people assume that a return fare is cheaper than two single fares. This is not always the case, you should always compare the prices before you book. Once again there is big money to be saved here.

5 Inside Information

Do you know an airline employee? If you do then you can forget the first four tips and talk to them instead! What they don’t know about getting the best deal probably isn’t worth knowing. Just knowing what to say when booking, when to say it and even what time you call has a massive impact on the price you pay. If you want a deep discount airfare then you really can do no better than to speak to these guys.

How to Find Airfare at a Discount

Gee G Surin asked:




The utmost cheapest and best way to get the most out of airfare is to go to the airlines website. When individuals call on the phone, or go through other websites, that can cause many troubles or difficulties. For example, the prices for American Airlines or Southwest may become $50 to $100 more than going through the actual airline website. People want to get the most of out of their airline experience, but do not want to pay too much.

Another route to receiving a great deal is to get a membership card through a favorite airline. When this happens through flying through them, individuals can receive a discount on their next flight. This is the case because people want to fly again and again with them, and the airlines do not want to lose customers because in the long term, they lose money, and that is detrimental to any company. For example, Airtran Airways does membership cards, and through that people receive a discount at an affordable price.

The last way to save money is to buy a credit card. Now before doing this make sure good credit is already established, and make an extra point to pay everything in full, otherwise it will become more and more difficult to pay it off. These are used to get frequent flyer miles, and individuals can receive a huge discount at a price they can afford.

Most people want a discount at a wonderful price they can afford. However, many individuals will not pay more than $400, if they can help it because of how expensive it can become. These people are looking for ways to get a discount, and three ways are possible to make it happen. One, go to the actual airline website. Two, get a membership card through the actual airline. Three, apply for a credit card, but pay off everything in full, and make sure credit is good before going for it. Remember to shop early too before flying.

Three Ways To Get Discount Airfares

Gordon Phillips asked:




When it comes to planning a vacation, one of the biggest costs can be airfares. So if you can find a way to get discount airfares, it’s worth pursuing. Most of us know that we can book a long way ahead and usually get a better fare, but that’s not the only way to get a discount airfare. Here are three great ways to cut the cost of flying to your holiday destination.

Pick A Different Airport

If you’re traveling to an airport that’s not a major hub, you might actually be better off flying to a nearby major airport if you want to save some dollars. Even with the extra cost of getting from the major airport to your final destination by car or other transport, it can still be substantially cheaper. For example, if you want to travel to Montreal, consider flying to New York instead. It will take you a couple of hours longer to drive to Montreal once you land, but it can be worthwhile. New York is a major international airport, and it’s a lot more likely that flights to New York will be discounted, simply because of the sheer volume of flights available.

Overbooking

If you’ve flown recently, particularly on a cheap airfare, then you’re probably familiar with overbooking. It can be an incredibly frustrating experience, but if you want to save yourself some cash, turn the situation to your advantage. Do you want to know how? Start by calling the day before you’re due to fly, and find out if your flight has been overbooked. If it has, make sure you arrive at the airport at least more than 90 minutes before you would normally need to arrive. It’s important to be first in line! Legally, airlines are not allowed to bump people without asking for volunteers first. So offer to be bumped, but make sure you do some serious negotiating to get everything you possibly can in return. Quote Rule number 240, which the airline workers know well, so that you must be placed on the next available flight, no matter which airline operates it.

If it looks like you’re going to be stuck in the airport for a while, make sure you’re given vouchers or freebies to compensate you for that time. You should get a meal voucher if you have to wait more than two hours, and it’s certainly worth asking for an airfare discount as well. If things really work out, you may even be able to negotiate a couple of extra free flights while you wait, if you’re kept waiting for a really long time. Just be prepared to spend a long time in the airport – bring a good book.

Special Offers

When you go online to check out airfares, make sure you look at each airline’s ‘special offers’ page. Quite often the flights offered on these pages are at a substantial discount, and may actually give you a better deal than some of the websites that specialize in offering discount airfares. Make sure you read the fine print on these offers though, in case there are any hidden charges or restrictions, then act quickly. Most of the time these special offers don’t last very long.

Discount flight tickets for child visitation?

CrazyTrain asked:


Question for anyone who can help…..

My boyfriends ex wife moved out of state with their children. He went to court to fight it because she had no reason to leave besides to leave…and she won and was able to move. Laws in this state didnt help the father out. The father is now required to pay for airfare (his and children) every other month (even though she is one that wanted to move). The children are at an age where they shouldnt fly alone, so he needs to fly and pick them up, fly back, and then 3 days later fly there to drop off and come back again.
The tickets are outrageous, because he is gonna have to fly and come back in the same day. Does anyone know if there are any flight discounts or anything for people who have child visitation?
This may be a dumb question, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
It’s going to end up being 1500 or more for these flights every other month and didnt know if there was anything for this sort of thing

Thanks so much!

Cheap Airfare to Greece for Honeymoon: Any suggestions for how to do this from San Francisco?

berkeleygolden_bear asked:


I am planning a honeymoon from September 17th to October 13 from San Francisco (SFO) to Athens Greece. Airfare is currently about $1200 round trip per person. I have about 170,000 American miles and 230,000 United miles, but can’t find a frequent flier ticket to get me to Europe. Do people have ideas about cheap bargins to Europe (e.g. travel to London and then use ryanair to get to Greece). Which have worked really well for you to defray the cost?
