Ways to Find Cheap Air Tickets

1. Keep your travel dates flexible

Air ticket prices vary depending on the period to which you are going. Many people prefer to go on vacation during such periods as New Year, Christmas, Eid al-Adha and Eid Al-Fitr June to August, when schools are holidays in your country, the most permits are used, the planes are full due to the high demand. Let's not forget that air tickets are higher during these periods. Plan travel for dates outside the holiday periods if you have the flexibility to travel.

If your flight dates necessarily coincide with the start and end periods of these periods, it means that you will most likely fly more expensive. If you are certain to travel on these dates, review the campaigns and air ticket prices frequently. To fly cheaply, you need to buy tickets early.

If your vacation time is approaching and you still haven't bought a ticket, then don't say why the ticket prices are so high. During these periods, you can find the relatively cheapest ticket only on flights that are quite early in the morning or late at night. If you think that transportation from the airport to your hotel or home will be practical and hassle-free, give preference to these hours.

The summary that you should keep in mind is december wherever there are cheap tickets, use the permit in those date intervals. Don't make me go to Paris because I'm going to Amsterdam. Of course, one day, when you find a €99 ticket to Budapest, go to Budapest first, and then go to others as soon as you can.

2. Buy your ticket at the time when prices are most affordable

Flying in the middle of the week is cheaper than flying on the weekend, because many of us prefer to go somewhere on the weekend. Experts say that flying in the middle of the week will save as much as 10%. Tuesday Saturday afternoon is the best time to check for tickets. Thursdayday is the most suitable day for tickets. Thursdayday is the most suitable day for tickets. Thursday afternoon is the most suitable day for tickets.

The period for capturing the most favorable prices for domestic flights is 21 days earlier. Prices in this period are 8% cheaper than the average price. In the last 2 weeks, ticket prices have been increasing by 5% compared to average prices, and in the last week this figure has increased to 30%.

International ticket prices do not fluctuate as much as local airfare prices. Prices 34 days before the date of travel are 4% lower than prices 6 months ago (Source: Ski).

Ticket prices are almost the same until 28 days before the trip. The prices 18-28 days before the trip are the most favorable. (Source: Expedia).

May comes to the fore as the best time of the year to travel from Turkey. Prefer flights that are on weekdays and dates that do not coincide with the holiday period

All the above data are prepared according to the average data. It may vary depending on the date, city, day you will fly. If there is a festival, a sports match or a congress that will attract crowds somewhere, regardless of many other reasons, prices can rise very quickly due to increased demand. Or vice versa, an unfavorable situation in the city where you are going (political impotence, weather conditions, confidence-breaking news) can lead to a decrease in air ticket prices. Keep the above information in mind, though.

The summary that you should keep in mind is; start the search for finding cheap tickets no later than 20 days before your trip. See this as a job that needs to be done daily and keep track of prices on a regular basis.

3. Use the airfare search engines

Try the airline ticket search engines that do this dec for us, instead of going to the pages of airlines and entering where to fly and the dates one by one. Airline ticket dec engines that offer the most affordable comparisons for all air tickets should be the sites that you need to add to your favorites.

They are doing the laborious research we will do to find tickets for us in a practical and incredibly fast way. They find and compare the most up-to-date deals and thus provide us with the most up-to-date deals.

Among the sites that you can use to buy cheap air tickets in your country,aviasales flight search engine is in the first place most suitable. Among the international airfare search engines Expedia or Orbitz if you are looking for cheap tickets for America, Momondo or Skyscanner for Europe give good search results.

4. Get your ticket early

On most airlines, the remaining seats are sold at higher prices after the cheapest seats are sold. This can cost you a lot if you make your reservation late, especially during busy travel periods. Airlines are able to apply daily or even hourly changes in ticket prices. Usually, as the flight date approaches, ticket prices increase.

Since I don't know where to go when, sometimes I may have to buy an Istanbul-Antalya one-way ticket more expensive than a round-trip plane ticket to any city in Europe. Although the date of my trip to Northern Europe with my sister was clear months ago, I didn't buy the ticket. The one-way Izmir-Istanbul ticket I bought a week before the trip cost £241.98 for both of us. However, there have even been times when I bought the same ticket for 20€ round trip.

In order to find the most affordable air ticket, considering all destinations, it is necessary to start searching on average 27 weeks in advance. Unfortunately, we still haven't learned how to book early. 57% of people miss out on the most affordable prices due to late booking (Source: Skyscanner).

The summary that you should keep in mind is that airfare prices are usually skyrocketing like a rocket in the last 2 weeks. If your travel date is final, start searching for tickets at least 3-4 months in advance before that date. Don't miss out when you catch the cheap flight price.

5. Buy your ticket late -Last minute tickets.

Of course, airlines want to fill up their planes. If they do not reach the targeted ticket sales and occupancy rates at the stipulated time, they will immediately launch lower-priced ticket campaigns. If you are one of the lucky ones looking for tickets in this period, it means that you have caught the opportunity.

If you want to get the best airfare prices on the route you have chosen, use the price alarm option applied by some airfare search engines. Create a price alert instead of constantly refreshing the page or checking ticket prices every day. You enter your destination, date. You will be notified instantly by an automatic e-mail when the price of the ticket you will receive drops. Good idea.

Airlines companies organize last-minute deals and announce them to their members in their email lists. If you are flexible with routes and dates, you can get your ticket late to catch these campaigns to take advantage of last-minute deals. The key word here is that the place, date and time of your flight should be flexible again. But in recent years, almost everyone is after cheap tickets, and many of the planes fly almost full. Let me remind you that the chances of getting such opportunities are becoming less and less.

The summary that you should keep in mind is that, although rarely, prices may fall as the flight date approaches. Waiting until the last minute to buy tickets means leaving the job entirely to chance. If you like to take risks, buy your ticket late. If you don't have time for research, make a habit of using the price alarm options.

6. Check alternative airports

Today, almost every major city has almost a second airport. It is usually cheaper to fly from these airports, which are preferred by low-budget companies. It is preferable if there are such airports in the destination destination. Sabiha Gökçen is a good example of this.

I have a flight from Izmir to Istanbul next week, and even though my place to stay is on the European side, I'm flying to Sabiha Gökçen Airport, where I found cheap tickets. I'm going to Milan next month and I'm looking for tickets to the airport that offers the cheapest ticket prices from 3 airports in the city, especially if I'm looking. Although the cheap ticket search engines are doing compariments for us.

For example, AirAsia, one of the airlines offering cheap tickets in Asia, uses low-budget airports in countries where it is sometimes possible to find tickets even for 15€. It may be cheaper to go to Amsterdam from Istanbul and fly to Iceland from there than to fly directly to Iceland from Istanbul.

The summary that you should keep in mind is; make it a habit to find cheap tickets. If there are airports in your city that offer cheap ticket deals without getting stuck on the flights coming in front of you, check them out and see if there are cheap tickets there. If you can get cheaper by transferring, try this way without being told.

7. Try alternative routes

Instead of flying to an expensive city that you want to see, buying an expensive plane ticket, fly there where there is a campaign and cheap tickets (I can write about this 10 more times). Constantly but constantly follow the campaigns of airlines and when you catch a campaign offering cheap air tickets, grab the ticket and plan your trip according to that date.

Some such campaigns last for 24 hours. Get your ticket without fear. You will make the rest of your plans (Hotel, transportation, places to visit) later. Some of us may not be so flexible, but I'm sure there are some of us who are flexible. It's even easier to decide if you have a Schengen visa or a valid passport. Otherwise, you'll get your visa anyway.

Skyscanner.com and find the cheapest tickets for skiing find the cheapest decommissioned destinations with the option “all destinations” using search engines or applications and fly there. Enter your current city or Istanbul, select “Anywhere” in the destination section. The information showing the cheapest destination you can go to and the cheapest time you can get there will start to be sorted in front of you. Buy tickets wherever it is cheap and attractive to you. Of course, don't forget to get information about this city from one or two people.

The summary that you should keep in mind is that famous tourist destinations are expensive not only in terms of air tickets, but also in terms of other travel expenses. Redirect your routes to different places. Go wherever you find tickets under 100€.

8. Register in the mailing lists of airlines

Always be on the alert for the cheapest air ticket prices with a campaign. It is necessary to hurry, since the number of seats applied for promotion is usually very small. To be informed about the campaigns early, sign up for the email lists of airline and ticket reseller websites. This is the most important thing you need to do to find the cheapest tickets!

Get your tickets without delay when promotional flights to a destination of your interest are announced. In the same way, follow the social media accounts of airlines. Sometimes campaigns are announced first/only from Facebook or Twitter accounts.

A friend of mine called the other day and said there was a campaign for € 105 to Madrid. He learned the news from the campaign email announced by the airline. he decided in 10 minutes and bought his ticket. The same ticket is 70 TL more expensive after the campaign (for now).

The summary that you should keep in mind is; Sign up for Turkish Airlines, Pegasus, Ryan Air, Easy Jet, SunExpress, Emirates, British Airways, Singapore Airlines email lists.

9. Check one-way tickets from different airlines

It's usually cheaper to buy a round-trip ticket. On the other hand, it can sometimes be cheaper to get a one-way round trip from different airlines. Many airline ticket search engine applications are able to do this for us, give it a try. Keep this in mind especially in destinations where competition is very high.

Turkish citizens living in Europe come to Turkey for the holidays with the start of long-lasting public holidays. Charter planes from these countries, which carry mostly Turkish passengers, do not find enough passengers on the way back, and therefore it becomes much easier to find cheap air tickets during these periods. When you look at tickets to Europe from Dalaman or Antalya in the summer period, you will understand what I mean.

In some cases, it may even work for you to take the departure separately, the return separately, or to buy two different tickets from different airlines. I had a flight from Izmir to Bari (Italy) and I missed the Izmir flight on the first leg of my trip. I had the opportunity to take the other plane to Istanbul and catch my flight to Italy, but since I bought the only ticket connected, the whole ticket was on fire when the first leg burned out.

The summary that you should keep in mind is; although you sometimes have to linger at airports, transfer flights; prefer flights from different airlines. Take a round-trip or transfer ticket separately in cases where there may be problems with your travel dates or there will be a risk of catching a plane.

10. Use debit cards that collects miles

Almost everyone has a credit card in their pocket. Make every penny you spend with their card that collects miles. In July 2015, when I started my 2-year trip, I had flown to Bangkok with THY Business Class and bought this one-way ticket with miles.

Other than that, I've flown miles to many places. I was using my credit card, which always saves miles on all kinds of expenses. Sometimes Banks that implement a miles program periodically conduct campaigns for you to fly a half-number of miles for some destinations; don't miss it.

In summary; air ticket prices should always be on your radar. Make a quick decision when promotional ticket opportunities arise with cheap airfare campaigns; use technology to find the most suitable airfare. With mobile applications, we can now easily buy tickets; don't forget to delete the history of the web browser you use when searching for tickets!
