If you
could, you would live out of a suitcase and hop cities as often as you can. A
backpack is your closest mate and wanderlust defines your mood at all times.
But due to several reasons, we aren’t able to travel as much as we’d like. Lack
of leaves could be one factor, however, budget should never be an obstacle. It
is almost heart breaking to have massive flight rates confine an adventurous
soul to a city.
Fret
not, with a little bit of smartness, you can bag the cheapest flights and
here’s how!
1) Book In Advance – no procrastination
Planning
in advance might be a trick you were taught in school. As clichéd as it sounds,
it is indeed the best trick in the book to get the best fare. Irrespective of
the deals that you can bag, don’t wait for the “right time” – the best time is
now!
2) Don’t let them record your cookies
Have
you noticed a surge in price every time you visit a flight booking website?
Your cookies and server details are automatically recorded and the next time it
gives you hiked flight fares. Use private browsing mode to avoid this risk.
3) Make a good return package
Instead
of booking one way, book a return flight. For example, if you are booking
tickets to Doha from Qatar Airways
select both departure and return dates. You will get a quote of a combined
value. We know combos are totally VFM!
4) Book on Wednesday and Thursday
Purchasing flight tickets on a weekend is an
idea fare-watchers detest. The prices surge on a Friday and begin to tumble on
a Tuesday. Also, if your dates are flexible, you can bag a lower price on a
different date for departure and return.g
5) Avail Cashback
Afterall,
cashback is money returned! You can use it for another flight booking, hotel
stay or anything else. Paying with wallets often have cashback options. Also,
watch out for festival and seasonal sales. These often offer direct discounts
or cashback on debit cards, wallets and more.
