Finding a cheap airlines ticket is a matter of two things: planning and flexibility. Combining those two elements can save you a lot of money.

Flexibility can save you a lot of money, when it comes to finding cheap air tickets. If you do not have to travel on a specific date, you can save a lot of money going in the low season instead of the high season. And you will not only save money on the air ticket. Also accommodation, food, sightseeing will often be cheaper.

In is also not unimportant which day of the week you travel. If you are going to a typical business destination, where all business people goes to on the weekdays, it is cheaper to travel in the weekend. And if you are visiting a holiday destination, you can save a lot of money by traveling there on a weekday.

No matter of which day and month you choose, there are locations, there are always expensive to fly to. If that is the case, you can ask yourself, if you can find another place with similar attraction, but with a much lower air ticket price.

Even though it is possible to find good last minute ticket offers, you will normally find the cheapest tickets if you plan well ahead. Tests have proven that the best time to book an airline ticket is four weeks before departure. If you are doing that you will have the highest flexibility for the lowest price.

When it comes to actually finding the cheap airline tickets, the Internet is your best friend. Use one the many air ticket search engines using the preferred location and dates. Then try to vary the dates a little e.g. from a weekday to the weekend to see if the price changes significant.

When you have found a good price, try to do a search with the same location and dates in another search ticket engine. That might give you an even better price. A search on the website of the airline company might also save you some money.

So remember when looking for cheap airline tickets to be flexible. Go on the best day and try to travel in the low season instead of the high season. And stay away from the most expensive locations.

And do always plan well ahead using the great ticket search engines on the Internet
