Most travellers realise that international flying in general usually makes the price of the tickets quite dear. What smart travellers have put together though is that with the right timing, research, and adaptability, it’s still possible to get yourself tickets on cheap international flights.
The destination of the flight is one of the factors determining the rate of a ticket. The farther away the destination is from your departure city, usually the more expensive the ticket. Most of us aren’t willing to change holiday plans just because the destination country is bit more expensive to fly to, but that doesn’t mean you have to pay and arm and a leg to get there - there are tricks to get this price down a little further.
By being flexible with the time of the flight, day of the flight and the month and season of the flight, all factors that influence the cost of the ticket, it’s much easier to get discounted flights. One constant in the travel world is that it is always better for you to fly by night as it gets you cheaper tickets on international flights – plus you reach your destination in the early morning at a relatively empty airport, which always makes for a stress free arrival.
Also as a general rule, most passengers aren’t thrilled to fly early morning, so there are more available seats on the airplane. And according to the law of supply and demand, if something isn’t in high demand – they price usually goes down. So, airlines tend to offer cheap international flights during the night and early hours of day to make sure that the flight has as many seats filled as possible.
Also avoid weekends (which include Fridays and Mondays) and holidays like the plague if you are after the cheap seats. Remember that during peak season, not only will the flights be expensive; you will also find accommodation rates to be expensive. So if you are happy to just travel, give the off season a go, and see how cheap international travel can be.
Be adaptive, go with the flow, search for the deals – and go.
