Advice On Finding The Lowest Air Fares

By Ann Triune


Traveling is something anyone looks forward to. So how can we make our dream a reality? This article will show you how to get the lowest air fares and still enjoy your holiday.

The Secret Time To Travel

Consider how many tourists visit a particular destination at a particular time of year. A place is usually packed with tourists when the weather is fine and festivities arise. Air fares at this time are always expensive. But there's always hope!

The low season will almost always offer the lowest air fares. However, go for the period between the high and low season to save as well as enjoy your trip. For instance, going to the Caribbean in the late spring can save you a lot because U.S. tourists prefer to travel there only when the weather in their area isn't nice anymore. You wouldn't want to just go for any low cost fare and end up having a bad travel experience, so choose your time wisely.

There's more to budget traveling than just going with the low season. The low season can sometimes give you rain clouds in the Caribbean, searing heat in Egypt and lonely night markets. Look for the lowest air fares, but also think about how good your trip will be.

Secret Places

All four seasons of the year is a good season to get the lowest air fares. During winter everyone wants to go shopping, so take advantage of this fact and travel to Asia where the weather's nice and warm for almost the whole year. Visit tulip farms in Holland in spring just before it gets warmer and therefore busier in Europe.

Where there's sun there's a lot of tourists and higher fares. You can still go to less visited destinations at a lower price though, and these are great if you're looking for tranquility during the summer. Costa Rica is a great place to visit between the wet and dry season, because during this time you get the lowest air fares. Flocks of tourists tend to visit the place only some time after fall. Autumn is great in New Zealand, when fares are also low but you still get a marvelous view of the autumn landscape.

Don't move your deserved trip to the next year due to a tight budget. All you really need to go on vacation is the right attire. If you know what to wear, the hot or cold isn't going to change the fact that you're going to enjoy your vacation while it's low season.

Make It Quick

Surf the web and don't just stick with famous travel companies. Make use of auction sites, a travel search engine like FareChase and travel planning services like Trip Advisor. The more alternatives you have the better. However, avoid spending a decade on researching. Gather a considerable amount of info and grab the best deal before someone else does. An even more efficient way of finding the lowest air fares is to research ahead of time.

A more traditional but equally effective option is to talk to travel agents. They can find less known airlines for you. These airlines are often much cheaper. Travel agents can also offer you the best package deals, which can dramatically lower your accommodation and car rental expenses. Moreover, they can even give you personal tips on the best restaurants in town.

If you're looking for tips on the lowest air fares, they can be found just about anywhere. As long as you have the right tools and guidelines, you're good to go. Traveling on a budget is easy with the right kind of help.
