No matter how often you travel, it's always a relief to save money on flights.
It is well known that it is recommended to book flights in advance if you intend to travel during the holidays, as airports are known to get congested during this time of year. CNBC reported.
Regardless of where you decide to travel, purchasing your tickets in advance will help you save money.
Here are some tips to help you find the cheapest rates.
How to find cheap plane tickets?
When looking for low-cost flights, you should look for a time window when low-cost tickets are most likely to be available for both domestic and international travel, rather than focusing on specific dates.
For example, if it's low season, booking one to three months in advance has a better chance of getting cheaper airfare; While traveling during peak season, it's ideal to book tickets three to seven months in advance.
Follow the 21-day rule for last-minute travel
If you can't book in advance, experts suggest following the 21-day rule, that is, booking 21 days before your departure date, as statistics suggest that airlines increase their prices after this deadline.
What is the cheapest day of the week to travel?
While purchasing on a certain day may not result in a lower airfare, the time of year you want to travel can have an impact on the cost of the ticket. In general, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are cheaper than Mondays and Fridays.
Early morning flights are also less popular, as people often prefer to get up later to catch their flight.
When to use airline miles to travel?
Flight expert Scott Keyes suggests using airline miles when booking last minute or traveling during peak season.
