Air Travel
Cheap air travel should be a degree at some
universities, as finding good rates on plane tickets is certainly an
art form. I’m not sure that I’ve mastered
this art form, but I have certainly developed my cheap air travel
skills over the years. Getting a good deal on a flight can
make it that much easier to relax on your vacation, and if you
didn’t really want to make the trip it makes it that less
painful.
There is one cheap air travel technique that no one seems to know
about, or furthermore want to even discuss with me at any
length. Hop inside a large cardboard box with a few
well-placed air holes and have a buddy send you directly anywhere you
want by UPS. This is the cheapest air travel tip
I’ve come up with, and it has saved me loads of
cash. It maybe a little uncomfortable, but your odds are at
least pretty good that you’ll survive.
Okay, now I feel like I should probably say that the above suggestion
is a joke. While that is likely obvious to most people,
I’m worried that some especially frugal individuals may be
taking notes. Cheap air travel is always in high demand, and
you never know what people will do to get it. I’ve
heard of people doing even crazier things!
All jesting aside, the best cheap air travel technique I’ve
learned is to book in advance, and never on impulse if I can avoid
it. Give yourself plenty of time and check prices
often. For whatever reason, ticket prices are prone to severe
fluctuation, and a patient and observant consumer can catch some great
deals just by keeping an eye on them.
Another thing that will of course help with cheap air travel is if you
are traveling in the ‘off’ season.
Depending on where you are going, the off season changes considerably,
but it is invariably the time that people are less likely to be
traveling in that direction. Maybe that’s the
regions rainy season, or maybe its too hot there during that
time. You can often book cheap flights on the fringes of
these off seasons, taking full advantage of the cheap air travel and
possibly catching some decent weather.
I recently landed some great deals on tickets to Madrid this way, and
I’m feeling like I’m on my way to earning at least
an Associates in cheap air travel.
