Tips to Save Money on Airfare


Bangalore: With travel occupying top priority in the lives of people these days, there is quite a bit of rush for getting a decent deal on travel fares. Since, traveling by flight is the fastest mode of transportation, finding a good deal for a flight is of utmost importance. As most flights are costlier than other modes of transportation, people hunt for cheap air tickets. This is a hectic and tedious process because booking air tickets is almost a Herculean task. This is so because getting the right deal at the right price is a bit tricky. People tend to stick to certain rules before buying air tickets. However, these cardinal rules do not always work out. So, here are some points given by ConsumerReports.org which will simplify buying the right air tickets to an extent -

1) Don’t Fixate on Discount Airlines:

First things first, finding the cheapest airline does not always work out. People tend to book their tickets for discount airlines so much that all seats get booked and in the process, no vacant seats are left. Also, these airlines do not provide discount throughout the year. Like all other airlines, discount or budget airlines need to keep up with competition and so, will not reduce their prices below a certain limit. Gone are the days when getting good seats or any for that matter in a budget airline was a breezy task. With major changes in the airlines industry of India, getting cheap seats is now a tough job. Seeking information online and comparing it regarding various airlines, irrespective of it being a budget one or not, regarding seats is a good idea. One should never jump at only going in a budget airline because there might be other airlines giving the same service at a lesser price. Looking up information in GoIbibo.Com or MakeMyTrip.Com is a good option. So, always ‘look before you leap’, especially when it comes to buying air tickets.
