It is my belief that it is the easiest to save money when buying plane tickets. It is one of those things that needs to be done carefully and requires a lot of patience, but it is all worth it when it comes to getting the same price. I recently bought a ticket to Miami and all of this came back to me. Websites like orbitz.com or expedia.com have great deals – we all know that… BUT they do come along with a lot of tricks. I have been spending a lot of time trying to find the lowest price… but oddly when it comes to buying the ticket, that “deal” seems to be missing. Hmmm… fast selling tickets or perhaps a low ball technique of getting me to make the purchase without the deal because I have already committed to a Miami trip in my mind. It’s tricky – but it works I am sure with all of us! Remember that when it comes to buying tickets – stay strong. You’ve got to act quick and use your best comparing skills. I am suggesting multiple windows open with each travel site.
Remember.. 1) try different airports. Yes it may not be the most convenient… but sometimes it is worth the hassle if it is saving you a hundred bucks. 2) Notice which days of the week have the lowest prices. Perhaps staying over another night wouldn’t hurt. 3) Ask for special deals. Make phone calls… sometimes that is all it takes! There is usually some special going on that could save you a lot. And to finish off… once at the airport – avoid shopping at the airport. I always make the mistake of shopping because I have some extra time.. but it is never for anything I REALLY need. Vacation gives the illusion of having freedom and luxury living.. but it doesn’t start in the airport : O Save up for the trip & keep your wallet in your pocket until arriving at your final destination!
