In addition, many airlines will release special fares at the last minute every Tuesday, so it is easier to have low fares every Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.

4. If you want to grab a cheap ticket, you should browse the web at least four times a day. According to AirfareWatchdog, a website that provides low-cost ticket reminders and suggestions, there is no best time of day because airline fares may change at any time.

5. Choosing the right season to travel abroad and choosing the off-season will be a very good choice! But if you have to go in the peak season, except for Christmas and New Year holidays, the best time to buy winter flights is 54 days in advance.
As for the spring flight, you should book it 75 days in advance. The summer flight is 76 days. Autumn flights are relatively flexible, and booking 47 days in advance is considered to be within the safe range.
6. Flexible use of flight search tools In addition to travel search engine such as Skyscanner and Funtime, it is also recommended to use Google's Discovery Flight and Kayak, but if you don't have a clear destination and just want to find a cheaper place, you can also use Adioso to search.
7. Advantages of transit air tickets There are two kinds of international transit air tickets: one is international transit air tickets, and the other is non-transit air tickets sold by different airlines.
The advantages of connecting air tickets are relatively large. No matter how many flights or segments you take, you don't have to bring your own luggage. If you miss your flight and need to change it, the airline will help you solve it, and if you meet the requirements, you will also solve the accommodation. Domestic flight segments are also implemented in accordance with international standards.
Sometimes, it is also possible to directly check luggage by purchasing tickets separately, provided that the two companies have signed an interlineagreement.
8. Don't just look at the price when buying a plane ticket. Don't just look at the price, but understand the specific terms of the plane ticket. Including whether it is United Airlines (sometimes it is cheaper to buy it separately), the amount of luggage, and the terms of returning and changing the ticket (sometimes it is a cheap ticket)
The fee for returning and changing the visa will be quite high, and the first class business class may change the visa for free.
9. Don't leave the transit area easily. For passengers with connecting tickets, if they encounter problems such as missed flights, the carrier airlines have the responsibility to arrange the passengers' next trips, noting that they are all completed in the transit area of the airport, not at the ticket office or check-in counter in the departure hall of the airport. So if there is a problem, just wait in place and there will be staff to solve it.
10. Use the booking website carefully to purchase the return ticket. If you need to book a connecting flight to China, you'd better consult a travel agency or log on to the airline website directly. English travel website system is slow to update, and does not necessarily cover all China routes, so it has no advantage in booking connecting air tickets to China.
1 1. Clear flight search records in time. The airline website will check your flight search history and then raise the price, creating a "feeling that there are not many tickets" when you are in a hurry to buy. Clear the browser history after searching once, and make sure that the ticket you are looking for is still the original price.
12. Buy a full set of air tickets Many airlines offer a full set of air tickets, including air tickets, accommodation and local transportation. This can also save the time and process of arranging transportation and accommodation. Nor will it be quoted by locals.
13, it is more cost-effective to book air tickets in advance. The travel data of 4.9 million people were investigated and analyzed. In Canada, the cheapest price is to buy a ticket 47 days before departure, but if you plan to buy a ticket outside North America, you need more time in advance to buy the cheapest ticket, and you have to wait at most 3 18 days. So the sooner you book a foreign air ticket, the more cost-effective.
14. After registering as an airline member, there is usually a special discount. You can buy special or cheap air tickets, and registered members don't need extra fees. If you really want to save money, you can join your favorite airline and keep abreast of the latest ticket purchase information.
15, upgrading one cabin equals all upgrades. Pay special attention when you need to transfer. If one of the trains only has a high-priced ticket, the system will automatically raise the price. You may always pay the price of business class or even first class, and it will be much more expensive in one trip!
16. Check the carry-on baggage. Even if a carry-on baggage flies countless times, it may still be forced to check because it no longer meets the new regulations. In addition, when transferring to different flights, their requirements for luggage are not necessarily the same. Be sure to look at the rules in advance.
