on airline tickets?????? i need a round trip ticket in february. also, any frequent flyers out there that can give me tips about when to purchase a ticket so i can get a cheaper price?
I like to use the search engine at Orbitz – let it check a few days before and a few days after you plan to go, too. There are bargains to be had by flying on certain days.
Tuesday afternoon is the best time of the week to purchase a ticket.
Where are you going? I may have some tips on bargain airlines for you.
Last winter, we flew to Florida twice, once paying $29 ea way, and once paying $49 ea way, plus $30 to check our bags.
I just booked 2 round trip tickets to New York for $158 (that was the total for both tickets) and change for Tuesday. I booked it on spirit, they always have good deals but they don’t fly everywhere and they charge for all baggage even a carry on.
Yes, Spirit is great for Florida and the Caribbean. That’s the airline I got the $29 tickets on last winter.
You gotta tell us from where to where.
Dansdeals.com had the following link to a Virgin America coupon that is valid for flying until Feb 15. Get the coupon now, book between 12/15 – 12/30 fly between 1/3 – 2/15 and get 25% off. JFK LAX or JFK SFO for just over $200. It worth a try:
In case you meant Israel i think this airline comes out the cheapest: swiss.com
Generally i like to use kayak.com to search for tickets.
the best bargains are found midweek – prices tend to rise slightly on weekends. Tuesday afternoon is when the bargains go out and the prices are the lowest.
This is not my observation, it is from an article on buying tickets cheap. In my experience, it is so, too.
Yes it is great, but it depends on if you want to stay for a while or just go up for the day (date, meeting, farher, shopping, etc.) Spirit is great if you are doing what I am, going up for the day, but if you want to take a trip where you will have to bring baggage then you will have to check how much they charge, and calculate it to see if it’s still the good deal it seems like.
