Airplane ticket prices?

Favorite Answer

I'm in the military and travel quite a bit since I have family all over the US. My favorite website for air travel is: http://www.kayak.com/ It searches all major airlines in the world. You don't need an account to use the basics, but if you want to extend your search, like search 3 days on either side of your desired departure date, then you have to sign up for an account, which is free.

TIPS

- Most airlines give a better discount if you fly Tuesday (the best day), Wednesday or Saturday.

- Look for really early or really late departure times.

- You usually get best fares 2-3 weeks before departure as the airlines sees you as desperate if you wait until a few days before departure, so they jack up the prices. Supply and Demand...

- The airlines are CONSTANTLY changing their fares, so what you find right now might not be there tomorrow or even a few hours from now.

- Unless you HAVE to fly out of a particular airport, look at surrounding airports, even if that means having to drive a bit. Even with the gas prices the way they are today, driving to another airport may save you a LOT of money for airfare; i.e. Someone living in Fresno (FAT), CA should look north at San Francisco (SFO) / San Jose (SJC) area or look to the south at Los Angeles (LAX), San Diego (SAN) or even Las Vegas (LAS). The drive times are 4-6 hrs away, but would save hundreds of dollars...if I was going to New Zealand. I'm heading to Europe, myself.

That form of stuff varies alot, counting on airline, stay, suitable departure ingredient and trip spot, and so on......... those are 2 very great places. Like la or Frisco, or farther north, to Yellowknife or Quebec?--a worldwide of distinction.... attempt checking Priceline or Expedia, or something like that....Show more
