Book tickets that have a stopover
Usually direct flights can be quite expensive. So try to look out for flights that require you to stopover before you reach your final destination.
Compare prices
Don’t go for the first offer you see. Check out flight comparison sites and cheap travel sites to get the best deal. Here is a list of amazing flight websites to help you get started.
Skyscanner
Google Flights
Momondo
Kayak
HolidayPirates
CheapTicket
Jacks Flight Club
Also, if you find a good deal on a comparison website remember to go directly to the airline website as they may have even cheaper deals that will not be shown on the travel comparison site.
Sign-Up to Airlines
Sometimes flight offers will not be available to the general public and will only be available to subscribers. In order to stay aware of the deals, follow airlines on social media and sign up to the airline newsletter.
As an example, you can sign up for airfarewatchdog.com
There are also discount codes for some airlines. They are out there on the Internet. You just have to search for them.
Sign-Up for Reward Programs
If you have a credit card, you can sign up for frequent flier miles rewards programs. The points will add up very quickly and you will be able to save money in the long term.
Book in advance
Book your flights up to 3 months in advance. Just a couple of days and weeks can make a huge difference in the final price.
Excess Fees
When booking your flights, watch out for excess fees or any further hidden charges.
