Flying need not cost a lot if you know where to look. Do some investigating and you may bag a good deal.
Today's climate means that deals can be made and bargains can be secured and this means that flights to certain places across the world are not as expensive as they could be if you know where to look. Bear in mind that a full airplane is the desire of every airline. So if you are able to travel at the last minute, check out all departures to your destination.
An airline will generally take any price for the last few seats available rather than come away with empty seats. If you are travelling with a family or friends, be prepared to sit apart from each other. Usually there is a kind soul willing to give up his or her seat so that you can sit together, though don't always expect this. Don't pre-order meals - this ups the price. Have a large meal before you fly.
Beware of websites that advertise a cheap flight for ridiculous prices because they generally do not take into consideration extras such as airport taxes. Even so, they can offer genuinely good deals, just for a bit extra than advertised. If you want a long haul flight, check out some of the lesser known airlines. The major airlines are always going to be more expensive. There may be less comfort with smaller airlines but at the end of the day, it will perform the same task - getting you from A to B in one piece.
No frills airlines are called that for a reason. Don't expect any luxuries but the prices will be cheaper than comparable big airlines. Try and be flexible about when you can travel. If there is a cheaper flight going early in the morning, then weigh up the pros and cons of getting up early. Flights that leave at unsociable hours are generally cheaper.
