Get Cheap Air Tickets

Wondering how to score good bargains on flight tickets. Read on for some tips to cut down on your travel budget. The perfect means to secure an early ticket is to go for one in the first half of the day. Early morning flights 6 to 8 am are generally not favoured by people and hence the tickets tend to be cheaper. Air tickets on weekends tend to be more expensive than during the midweek ones. Plan your itinerary, unless it is a fixed plan for a business trip, and travel during the middle of the week like a Wednesday. Agents make a profit through your purchase. So before you turn to a travel agent, log on to the airlines you want to fly with and check their prices. This will save you a lot of money at times. This is the best way to ensure that you land with a dirt cheap air ticket, but you can generally pull something like this off only with a leisure trip. Tickets for a trip booked at least before two months in advance will be cheaper. This is probably one of the biggest myths that flight tickets booked a day or even hours in advance are expensive. In fact, the rate you will get will probably be less thrice than the normal amount.

If you are looking to fly on short notice this season, get ready to cough up twice the normal amount as there is an unusual increase in air traffic this winter. Ticket prices are going through the roof especially on the metro routes this winter season. A Delhi-Mumbai one way ticket for travel from November 16-18 is priced at between Rs 11,000 to Rs 13,500, while a Delhi-Ahmedabad ticket could set you back between Rs 10,000-11,000, effectively twice the fare in the recent period. If you thought low-cost carriers are cheap check again. They are only marginally cheaper.
