How to buy cheap air tickets

Many of you, and especially those who travel often, paid attention to the significant difference in prices for air tickets between domestic and European air carriers. We will tell you how to buy cheap air tickets and get a lot of pleasant impressions from the trip with savings for the budget.

For example, residents of Northern Europe, subject to booking in advance, have the opportunity to purchase air tickets to almost all popular resorts of the Mediterranean for just a few dozen euros.

Looking ahead we will tell: there is no way to get cheap air tickets for flights of domestic airlines. This is due solely to the irrepressible thirst for profits of these, as well as the actually established monopoly on the market, since the true owners of most of them are the same persons. If you do not want to overpay dozens of times from the real price of a ticket, you will have to find a way to get to the nearest European airport. At the same time, consider the opportunity to go on a sightseeing tour, since you were there.

So, let's start from the time: the optimal time when you need to plan a trip, book guides, excursions and air tickets is three to four months before the date of travel. Booking for a longer or shorter period will usually give a higher price. Of course, it is not always possible to buy a ticket in advance, especially if one considers that the ability to exchange it for another date will most likely require a surcharge commensurate with the cost of the entire ticket. However, the pricing rule here is quite simple: the fewer available seats remain on the plane, the more expensive they will be.

An important point is the choice of the airline. It should be borne in mind that many well-known European discounters, such as Ryanair and Wizzair, do not give tickets to agents. Accordingly, it is impossible to buy tickets for flights of these airlines through any untwisted air tickets sales sites. We find out which airlines are flying to the place of interest, go to their sites and find out the prices for tickets. However, if you do not care, you pay for a ticket forty or two hundred euros, then this item can be safely ignored.

When booking through the discounter, you must carefully read the airline's rules. Since their task is to give you an attractive price, often it includes a very limited list of services. For example, such air carriers often take an additional charge for the transportation of baggage, there may be very strict restrictions on the size of hand luggage, meals in flight will almost always be paid, etc.

Particular attention is paid to attractive offers from airlines, which are not discounters. So, for example, the ticket for the flight of Cyprus Airlines on the route Athens - Larnaca costs only twelve euros. However, such a price is valid only if a number of very specific conditions are met. In our case, for an ordinary passenger with a suitcase, as if by magic, twelve euros turn into seventy-five, which, given the short distance between cities, is simply a predatory price. Always carefully read everything that is written in fine print. Better yet, choose an airline that suits you and prefer it, even if the ticket is at first glance ten to twenty percent more expensive.
