1. One
way and round trip fares
One-way fares are usually half the price of the most expensive round-trip
fares, which are valid for one year. The most restricted round-trip
tickets are usually cheaper than the one-way tickets. Check both
the one-way and the round-trip fare for your trip, even if you're
only traveling one-way.
2. Sunday rule
One of the most common low fare restrictions is the requirement for
your stay to incorporate at least one Sunday. For example, for
a round-trip New York to Miami a passenger flying Tuesday to Thursday
might pay USD 328, but a passenger whose stay includes a Sunday
would pay much less - USD 188.
3. Advance purchasing
The least expensive fares often require advance purchasing - 7, 14,
21, days etc. before departure. You should keep in mind that seats
for these cheapest fares are limited. The earlier you plan your
trip the better your chances of getting a good fare.
4. Flight times
Airlines usually offer early morning and late evening flights - right
before and after midnight when air traffic is light - at cheaper
rates. If your time schedule allows, you might want to consider
booking night flights to save money. 5. Are both legs of your trip with the same airline?
It is important to book the same airline for both legs of your trip.
If you select different airlines for your outbound and return journeys
you may not get any price showing at all. If you do get a price,
it is likely to be significantly higher than the price you would
get by booking with the same airline both ways. It depends whether
the airlines have negotiated prices and agreements and whether
they have any kind of mutual relations at all.
6. Check the restrictions
These tips and others can be found on the Air Fare Rules page, viewable
when using the Fares method for booking. We highly recommend that
you read these rules carefully before making your reservation. Unconfirmed Reservation
