Searching for cheap flights, last minute offers flights or error fare flights? You can save on travel costs by a lot if you stay informed on the latest offers from airline companies. The differences can be huge, for example airplane tickets that go for USD 800 can reach 500 or even lower, if you know when to purchase.
Cheap flights tricks : Find unusual price drops by conducting broad searches in meta search engines: Meta search engines are a great way to quickly explore and compare prices from different airlines, while also offering useful tools such as price forecasting, search results filtering, e-mail alerts, etc. If you are hunting for error fares, it is best to do a wide search. You can select an entire month for your departure date and in this way you will easily detect any unusual price variations.
Look for tickets in other currencies: If your country’s currency is currently strong compared to others around the world, search airfare in a country where the currency is weaker. For example, the US dollar is strong and the New Zealand currency is weak. I found a one-way flight from Australia to NYC for $1,000 USD but when I searched on the NZ version of the airline, I found the same ticket for $600 USD. It’s the same airline, same flight, and same booking class. It was just booked in a different currency. This tip does not always work, but it works often enough that it’s something worth trying if your currency is currently doing well. Find additional details on Flight alerts.
Sign up for daily alerts. There are a few newsletters/email alerts focusing on mistake fares, said Sophie Anderson, founder of the Wanderful Me, a vegan travel and adventure blog. Her favorites: Secret Flying, Airfarewatchdog, the Flight Deal and FlyerTalk Mileage Run Deals. Book through the airline’s website, not a travel agency. Travel agencies tend to make a request for the ticket. This takes time, and during these precious hours, the mistake fare may disappear. If you book without a middleman, you’ll snag the deal faster and get your ticket in your inbox — which usually means it’ll be honored, Keyes said.
The Travel Alert Club (or as our team refer to it, “TAC”) are a bunch of travel enthusiasts that love saving money on travel and flight costs. Our goal is to find travel and flight deals so we NEVER pay full fare and have the chance to visit places that may have been too expensive at the standard fare. We do what we do because we love it, so our jobs are not really ‘jobs’ and apart from paying the bills, our real joy comes from hearing about the savings our members have made and the amazing places they visit as a result. Originally a family run business we now have a team of 5 based across 3 countries (well…..i did say we like to travel!) – London, Zurich and Bucharest. When we’re not looking for great deals and sharing these with our members, you’ll find us on the slopes in the winter and by the beach in the summer……we live very simple lives 🙂 oh, and as we ourselves don’t pay full fare, of course we may go more than once…..with a little extra spending money!
