Top 5 ways to get cheaper airfare

Airfare can be very expensive. It can be even more expensive if you don't follow these 5 tips.

  • Plan Ahead

Always allow at least 14 days prior to planning your trip. Anything between 0-13 days will force you to pay premium pricing

  • Membership Clubs

Clubs like Costco, AAA, Sams Club, and more offer discounted rates to many of your travel plans. Check with your clubs to see what deals are avaliable.

  • Packages

Packages are the way to go if your going to need a car and hotel as well as your airfare. Check with you local travel agent or online network to find the best travel deals avaliable. Membership clubs may also have discount packages. Right now many cities have promotional deals to get people to the city to spend elsewhere and improve their tourism profitablility.

  • Non-Peak Seasons

If at all possible, avoid travel during peak seasons. Airfare is increased during three day weekends, long holidays, and other major city events. Keep in mind that some peak seasons for airlines may be down seasons for resorts. Check for mega resort discounts during peak seasons.

  • Search Online

Always shop around before buying your ticket. Many online sites offer great deals, most of them have better deals than others on certain flights, certain airlines, or have some promotions that other sites can't offer. Here are some of the sites I use.
