TIPS FOR FINDING LOWER FARES: 1. BE AS FLEXIBLE AS POSSIBLE.On the day you want to fly out, a higher fare is offered than on the day before. Can you fly out on the earlier, lower-fare day instead? Having a little flexibility up-front as you plan can go miles in saving you money. 2. START LOOKING AT FARES IN ADVANCE.Talk to your travel agent, ask questions, get an idea of what fares may be averaging around that time. 3. BOOK YOUR RESERVATION EARLY. Once you have a good feel for a fare, and find a low one that matches your needs, book it. Remember, too, that many discount fares require you to book 7, 14, or 21 days before your trip, depending on the fare, and the best international fares often require you to book 30 days in advance. Booking earlier increases your chances of getting the best deal. 4. FLY ON WEEKDAYS. Lowest fares are usually found on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday flights. Monday and Friday flights are usually higher-priced (if you’re wondering why, just remember that Monday and Friday are around the weekend, so often higher in demand for departures and returns). However, Saturday flights sometimes have discount airfare, BUT THE RULE IS WEEKENDS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WEEKDAYS.
