Tips for good deals

Best advice to find good airfare tickets: Search often, over a long lead time, and pounce when there’s a deal!

Fares fluctuate throughout the day, and the number of seats offered at the lowest fares also changes frequently. Or someone might be holding the only seat at the lowest fare and not book it, so it goes back into inventory—and then it will be yours. So if you don’t like the fare at 10 a.m., check at 2 p.m. or the next day or the next week and pounce when the fare is affordable. It’s easy to leave open the browser page where you’re searching for a fare and keep on hitting the refresh.
