Are you looking for cheap or discount airline tickets? Saving money is easy - you just have to know where to look. Visit our airfare deals page to find current aifare discounts and airline ticket promotions. Or, follow these easy steps to find the best deal on airline tickets:
Step One: Check full-price or retail fares
Visit Orbitz, Expedia or Travelocity. These full-service travel sites specialize in providing you with travel-planning tools and loads of information so you can make your own travel arrangements.
- Keep your eyes open for fare sales or web-only fares. Be sure to note any restrictions, black-out dates and expiration dates.
- Depart and return on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday. Prices are generally lower on these days because they are considered off-peak.
- Check prices for the days before and after your departure and arrival dates.
- Try selecting alternate airports as it may be cheaper than flying into or out of major airports.
- Do you need a hotel reservation or rental car? Websites offer better deals when you book these as a package along with your tickets.
Step Two: Check discounted or “opaque” fares
Visit Hotwire or Priceline. These so called “opaque” sites offer tickets at deep discounts with savings of up to 40% or more. While these sites require a little flexibility on your part (you choose dates and airports, they choose the airline and flight times) the prices offered are hard to beat.
Step Three: Compare and save
Look at the difference between the full-priced fare and the “opaque” fare. Consider how flexible you can be with your travel times and choose the option that works best for you
