discount airline tickets

curious asked:


I remember when I worked for an airline years ago there where people who actually got paid to take certain items on international flights and got paid for it. I know there are many courier companies who want you to take pieces of luggage for them and only give you a discounted plane ticket. That IS NOT what I’m looking for. There has to be a service that will do International or even domestic courier services that pays the traveler , No?

I would like to take a trip with my family to Hawaii, however because I was medically discharged from the Army I don’t qualify for space a flights. The cost of airline tickets is staggering. I am 100% disabled veteran and live on my VA pay. I don’t think Im gonna have another chance to take a vacation due to my health and I want to make memories now. Should I wait till last min. to see if flights are cheaper? Or does anyone know of a place where I can make payments on vacations?

While a wedding is a happy occasion, the expenses surrounding it never make anyone happy. By doing a little extra work your can save hundreds on your honeymoon by finding cheap airline tickets and potentially save yourself a whole lot of stress.

In addition to the decreased stress you’ll also have more money left for the actual honeymoon which could mean a better destination, upgraded rooms or more romantic dinners. It’s worth a little extra time spent now to locate some dirt cheap tickets. I know I wouldn’t mind being able to stay in the honeymoon suite of a 5 star hotel simply because I was able to save hundreds on my airfare.

These four tips will put you well on your way to locating the cheapest airline tickets available for your honeymoon.

1. Don’t travel during peak times. By traveling mid week or getting flights that leave early in the morning or late at night you avoid the peak flight times that the airlines charge the most for. Since demand for these flights is low the airlines will frequently discount them just to keep the planes full. Take advantage of these discounts. And if you travel during off peak seasons you’ll be able to save money on your resort as well as the airfare.

2. Use travel comparison sites to find the best deals on airfare. Sites like TravelZoo, BookingBuddy and Cheap Flights will save you time by searching all the major travel sites for the best possible airline ticket prices. Why go to each site yourself when you can let one of these comparison sites do the work for you.

3. Even though you’ve checked the comparison sites go ahead and call the airlines directly. The airlines will often run specials, especially for last minute flights, that they don’t advertise anywhere. All it takes is a quick call to the airline and you could save yourself serious money on your flight.

4. Consider booking a package that combines your hotel and airfare. When tourism is suffering to a destination the airlines and hotels will often partner to offer special discounts and attract more visitors. Packages can be a great deal, but don’t assume that you’re saving money just because it’s a package. Compare the price of the separate elements to make sure you’re getting a deal.

By using these four simple steps you can often find unadvertised specials and promotions that will save you hundreds on your airfare. Save your self the stress and high cost of airfare by doing your own search for cheap airline tickets. If you save money on your airfare then you’ll have more money to spend on the romantic parts of your honeymoon and you’ll both enjoy it to it’s fullest.

Do you love to travel? I do too, and I am always looking for new ways to find inexpensive airline tickets. I prefer to spend my money on other things rather than spending a bundle on airfare just to get to my destination. I bet you would too. So I have gathered together a few tips to help all of us “thrifty” travelers.

1. Check neighboring cities. For example, if you are planning on flying into Washington DC, be sure to check out prices for flights to Baltimore instead, as these flights are almost always less expensive.

2. If you are not traveling internationally, consider flying on one of the subsidiary airlines for the major carriers (such as Delta Express), as you will usually save money this way.

3. Be sure to use the Internet to check out last-minute discounted fares on the airline’s website. Start looking Wednesday for the upcoming weekend.

4. Be patient and wait for a good price to come up. However, when you do see a great price go ahead and grab it.

5. Try to be flexible with your leaving and return dates. Sometimes if you just adjust your dates by one day you can get a better price. For example, leave Thursday and return Monday instead of leaving Friday and returning Sunday.

6. If possible, book your tickets directly at the airline’s website. If you use a travel agency, even one online, they will charge you an additional fee. It will also be easier to correct any problems if you are dealing directly with the airline itself instead of a travel agency.

7. Mornings are sometimes the best time to check for tickets, and Saturday and Wednesday mornings are good days to take a look for some great prices.

8. Don’t forget to sign up for frequent flyer miles; it is surprising how often people don’t take advantage of this perk.

9. Traveling one way? Even though you will find this doesn’t work all the time, be sure to check for round-trip prices as well since there are occasions where it is cheaper than flying one-way. Crazy? Sure, but hey, we are trying to save money here so do what you have to.

10. If you plan to travel on a holiday, be sure to book your tickets well in advance. For one thing, you will have a hard time getting the seats and dates you want if you wait until the last minute, but you also will save on airfare by buying early. However, be sure of your itinerary because you will cancel out all savings you made if you have to change your travel dates.

11. Make sure you always book your flights at least 21 days in advance. This will get you the best fares. The earlier the better in this case. Never buy tickets within 7 days of your planned departure if you can help it, as you will pay a significantly higher fare.

12. Consider traveling on the “red eye” flights. Check with your travel agent to see if you can save with these late-night fares. You can often save as much as 25% this way.
