Can anyone direct me in to great deals for airline tickets ?

Answer 1

I have found the best deals with the airline's own websites. I generally check sites like expedia.com or travelocity.com and see which airline has the cheapest fares, then I go to that airline's website, pick the same flights, and 99% of the time I get the exact same fare. But most of those sites charge a "booking fee" of $5 or more so you're actually paying more. And also, some airlines guarantee that you'll find the lowest fare on their own website (I know American Airlines does and probably most other major ones too). Also... most of the "low-fare" airlines like Southwest Airlines and JetBlue only offer their tickets online through their own websites, so check there as well, although they're not often the cheapest. JetBlue is often considerably more than other airlines, and Southwest is sometimes only slightly cheaper (and I'd have to get to an inconvenient airport, which would cost me more than I'd be saving).

Basically I would say shop around. The more flexible you can be with your travel dates, the more you're likely to save. Mid-week travel is often cheaper (less demand for travel on those days). But like I said, best deals are usually through the airline directly.

Whenever you want to buy an airline ticket, there are a few things you need to keep in mind.
First of all of course the destination.
Secondly when and how long would you like to stay.
May there be a chance that you'll want to change you itinerary.
When going on line and looking on websites for tickets, the lowest fares will pop-up first. That means there will be still seats available for that fare. Cheap fares usually do have a lot of restrictions, like not being able to change anything and you have to stick to the booked dates, otherwise you'll loose you right on a seat.
If you are not sure what the restrictions are, cal the airline what they are concerning that fare.
They may also be able to give you a fare that has more flexibility, but you need to pay for those.
There are also tickets in which you can change you return date.
For example if you decide to stay a few days longer, call the airline in advance, they'll place you on the flight of your request ( if seats are available) and you pay the fee at check-in. Most of the time a sum of $ 100 - $ 200,-.
If you want a flexible ticket, call the airline or a travel agent to help you. if you want a limited ticket, just book on line at one of the systems.
Hope this can be a help for you.

Priceline.com has a name your own price feature. I've gotten amazing deals using it, but be careful. You have to put up your credit card info before it will do the search. If it finds the price you want to pay it charges your account immediately and changes are not allowed. However, I have gotten deals paying less then a third of the regular retail price this way. It's fabulous when it works!

Answer 4

There are hundreds of airlines, and sellers of airfares, around the globe. Directing you to some "great deals" really will depend where you need to travel to.

Otherwise, http://www.ryanair.com has some for 1p + taxes.
