Finding the Best Airline Tickets Author: Susan Dunn, MA, Personal Life Coach
General advice when you’re shopping for the best deals on the Internet: Plan to spend some time. You may have to visit several sites.
Before you book, investigate refund and cancellation policies, “service fees” per ticket, and whether frequent-flier miles are granted or not.
Check out the Message Boards on www.frommers.com and similar sites for information and tips from individuals which can be helpful.
Go to various individual carrier sites and sign up to be notified about special deals.
Subscribe to Frommers newsletter. It’s well worth it - http://www.frommers.com/subscribe .
To maximize your chance for getting the cheapest ticket, try these things:
1.Plan to stay over a Saturday, to fly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays after 7 pm, and to avoid returning on a Sunday.
2.Begin with the Big Ones: www.expedia.com, www.orbitz.com, and www.travelocity.com, and the Obvious Ones: www.cheapseats.com, www.cheapair.com, www.cheapflights.com, and www.hotwire.com .
3.Check out this site to find the budget airlines and go to their sites for prices: http://www.flybudget.com . It lists some airlines I promise you you've never heard of, and comments from people who've flown them.
On a recent trip I took, Southwest beat out everyone except hotwire.com.
4.Try a consolidator. Frommers recommends the following: http://www.frommers.com/activities/article.cfm?destid=AIRFARE&articleid=453 .
5.Visit the sites of the individual carriers. Sometimes you can get a better deal there.
7.Bid or name your price: http://www.skyauction.com/, www.priceline.com .

Todays Travel Tip
Did you know buying a one way or split ticket can be better than
round trip sometimes? Well, our traveling pauper sure does! Let’s
say you’re going from Boston to Dallas. It may be cheaper to get
two separate tickets. You could buy one ticket from Boston to
Nashville and one from Nashville to Dallas. It all depends on the
connecting cities and your airlines hubs. Just tell your agent you
are willing to travel out of other airports and connect using regional
airports to save money. Check back tomorrow for
another tip.
P.S.
If you have ever wanted to travel like the "rich and famous," here is
your opportunity. The Pauper's Secret Confessions alone, are
worth 10 times the cost of this book. Never take another trip
without being prepared!
