- Flexibility is the key
Be flexible with your potential flight dates and always plan ahead of time. Air ticket prices are highly dynamic and depend on demand, supply and competition.
Know your market!
For the route you want to fly monitor the airfares for a while and try to find out the lowest published fare. Don’t accept the very first fare you find.
Fly off-season
Fly during 'off-peak' or 'shoulder' seasons. Do not fly during the peak time of year. (If you do make sure you book well in advance!)
Fly midweek
Flights that depart during the midweek (Tuesday to Thursday) tend to be cheaper from less demand. Avoid Friday and Sunday evenings and Monday morning.
Hit the red-eye
Very early morning or late evening flights are less busy - and can sometimes be cheaper than flights in the middle of the day. Peak hours when flights are at their fullest are 8 to 11am and 4 to 7pm. Good deals can be found on 'red-eye' overnight flights which people like to avoid.
