Getting a cheap airfare often comes down to luck but is there anything you can do to increase your chances of snagging a bargain? Here are a few tips to help you save money the next time you fly:
- Fly mid week (Tuesday or Wednesday) or very early or late at night - the emptier a plane, the cheaper the seats - so go for days & times that will be less popular;
- Book as far in advance as possible, airlines will release their fares at a low price to get the seats filled - as the flight fills up, the prices will go up;
- If travelling to Europe, look for Earlybird Specials often released in October or November for travel the following year, you can save hundreds of dollars;
- Choose an airline with less direct flights, these airlines will offer lower fares to fill their seats, eg Brisbane to Los Angeles via Fiji;
- When a new airline starts flying to Australia, or starts flying a new route, look for pre-launch and launch specials;
- Avoid airline peak seasons if you can, if you travel during popular holiday times, like Christmas, it will be more expensive;
