How To Find Cheap Flights To Anywhere In The World by 1geeday(m): 10:13am On Aug 22, 2017 |
Travel doesn't have to be expensive if you know how to search 1. Start searching as early as possible: Airlines generally release tickets 11 months in advance. Once you know your destination start searching and continue to check at least once per week. Flight prices are live and fluctuate constantly due to supply and demand, so have a price in mind YOU are comfortable paying and be ready to jump on it. Sure, there are last-minute flight deals that might beat what you’ve already paid, but that’s not guaranteed. If you want to play the game of waiting for a bargain, you’re better off NOT having a fixed destination in mind. More on that down below. 2. When to buy airline tickets? There really is no hard and fast rule on the best time to buy international airline tickets. However, there are some general trends to be aware of when looking for cheap air tickets. Peak season and holiday weekends will have the most demand, so expect higher prices. You can, however, stack the odds in your favor by buying at a certain time. In this study, they analyzed 560 million flight searches, found an optimal time to buy was on average 7 weeks in advance (for domestic flights). Others have suggested a sweet spot of between 3-7 weeks in advance. The WORST time was within 14 days of flying, or too far in advance, more than 5 months. For international flights, the study found the sweet spot is 11-12 weeks prior to departure. As for which day of the week to buy on, they suggest no particular day was better than the other and buying on a Tuesday and Wednesday was somewhat of an urban legend.http://gistz247.com for more. |
