Tips To Finding Cheap Airfares

While the trick to finding cheap airfares can involve sacrificing savings for convenience, it can also make a traveler quite lucky. That was certainly the case in the spring of 2010, when one man and his mother purchased some cheap airline tickets. They selected a route to Iran that did not go through Europe.

Initially that son and fellow traveler complained about his mother’s choice of flight path. He did not relish the thought of a lengthy stay in one plane. However, their cheap airline tickets saved them from a big headache. Unlike travelers in Europe, including those who may have refused to consider the sacrifices often linked to cheap airfares, they did not have to worry about the volcanic ash in the air.

That traveling pair saved a few extra dollars by leaving on a weekday, instead of on a weekend day. In addition, the son made a point of weighing each bag before they left for the airport. That way he could prevent sudden discovery of the need to pay the cost of an added container, one that would hold the extra weight in an overloaded suitcase.

The same man had learned earlier how to use possession of cheap airline tickets to an advantage. One time he secured cheap airfares for his family, when they went to a conference in New York City. He had them leave early in the morning. He purchased tickets on flight that stopped in Tennessee. His children, who had grown up in California thus got to see some late autumn colors.

On the day of the family’s departure, the clever gentleman found an additional way to profit from cheap airline tickets. He realized that the time for the morning flight allowed for enjoyment of a breakfast. That was meal that his wife really appreciated. That was also a meal that could be especially tasty at a New York delicatessen.

Now one trick to finding cheap airfares relates to the search for a “package.” This gentleman had created his own package. He had located a most reasonable hotel close to a delicatessen. He treated his wife, children and mother to breakfast before they left for California.
