4 Tips For Getting The Best Travel Prices by Opinionated: 1:22pm On Jul 07, 2017 |
To make the best of your travel experience and save some money on travel costs, there are certain tips you should know, so you can take advantage of them to maximize your travel experience. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 4 tips for getting the best travel prices. Book Early Airline prices especially, tend to go up in the last few days before flying and during peak periods, so if you want to get the best travel price and save some money, it’s best to make your travel bookings earlier on. For international travels, it is also best to make your bookings much earlier. Check Around Avoid using only one airline website or travel booking portal to get travel prices. You should browse around and check with other airline websites or travel booking portals to get the best prices. Never book the first travel fare you see, because the chances are you will find better. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel booking portal, is known to have the best and lowest travel prices. While you’re browsing around, also check to see if there are promotions or sales you can also take advantage of. Take Advantage of First Flights Usually the first flight of the morning are the cheapest, so you can take advantage of that to reduce some of your travel costs. Consider Connecting Flights This might surprise you, but connecting flights can save you more money than round trips. Just try to ensure you are prompt with everything so you have enough time to make the connecting flight, in case the first flight arrive late. source: http://www.opinions.ng/4-tips-getting-best-travel-prices/ cc: lalasticlala 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Opinionated: I disagree because sometimes afternoon flight is usually cheaper or evening flight. Check it Another point 5. Monitor Ticket Prices Another means of getting a cheaper fare if you were unable to book early is by monitoring ticket prices. Even if you don’t want to book early you can get a better deal by observing tickets prices. One of the major means of monitoring ticket prices is my subscribing to different airlines or agents notifications either via email or text message. Many airlines or agents usually send messages when a promo or prices drop. Sometimes it could be a coupon code that you would use to unlock cheaper and better fares. Consider Other Airports Like as I said earlier that different airports have different rates. If there are other airports close to your origin or your destination you can consider them too. You may likely get a better deal when you use some of the minor airports in Nigeria instead of the major airports. For instance, you can use Minna Airport, Niger State instead of Abuja Airport.

Misleading thread...... cheap flights are suicidal sometimes. A lay man will just go for cheap flights not minding the if it's a promo ticket or not. The best advice is to refer to your agent. 2 Likes |

SageTravels: For example: I don't think Warri to Lagos via Aero gets any cheaper if you book early. |

omogidi234: Mimzyy: Ehmm, Research has shown that buying ticket from a foreign country can be alot expensive, because at times some airlines include foreign transaction charges. And because some websites request for your country of origin, this also doesnt help. If I'm booking a flight from Naija, it can be a lot cheaper, than booking that same flight from an international country and vice versa. The only thing that makes it look more expensive from Naija is cos of the exchange rate if you're paying in Naira. On a lighter note, I also believe its like that cos they believe in most case, its very important for you to travel to your country, (You may not have a choice), and so the prices are raised. ITA Software matrix also helps in this regard. Although you cant buy your ticket from it, but you can specify where you're buying the ticket from and get better deals. All these are based on international flights. Not sure how Domestic works though. 1 Like |
