HOW TO GET CHEAP TRAVEL TICKETS

With planning, foresight and a little bit of hard work, you cango ahead and have that dream vacation the economical way. Here'show:

*Search the internet, call airline agencies and watch the newsto keep yourself up to date on discounts. There are a lot ofpromotional fares offered by airline companies that are new inthe industry.

*When you do travel a lot, sign up for frequent flier miles.

*Ask about student fares or senior citizen discounts.

*Keep a flexible travel schedule. Go with the flow. If the promostates that they only give discounts every Tuesdays, then setyour departure on Tuesday. Generally, Tuesdays, Wednesdays andSaturdays are the days that have fewer reservations, so it in onthese days that tickets are sold cheap. Monday is usually thebusiest day of the week.

* Do not go ahead and make reservations to the first airlinecompany you see with promotions. Take the time to source out avariety of options. Take the time to find out if the promotionis indeed the cheapest in your area. Ask the clerk about otheroffers available. When checking through the internet, make sureyou check at least five sites before you decide where to buyyour tickets.

*You can have the option of purchasing tickets troughconsolidators. These are people who buy a whole block of ticketsand resell them at certain discounts. This helps the airlinefill up still available seats. The travel section



of thenewspaper is the place to check for ticket consolidators.

*Try flying on off peak hours schedule. Usually if you take thebefore seven in the morning flight or the after seven in theevening flight, tickets are at their cheapest. This too, will bea wise decision since it is at these times that airlines are notovercrowded, thus getting more space for yourself and yourluggage.

*Be sure to inquire if the airline offers travel packages. Someairlines do offer packages such as car rental discount or ahotel room discount that comes with the travel ticket.

* When you are flying off season, be very sure to ask aboutcertain standby fares.

*Have an early booking. Promotions are usually offered when onereserves a ticket three weeks beforehand. Remember that due toover crowding during the holidays, you may not use your frequentflier miles. So book in advance if you plan to travel during theholidays.

*Staying with only one airline on your entire trip may too, giveyou discounts. Airlines offer special rates to round triptickets or connecting flights.
