Cheap Flights Tips
Book in plenty of time
The later you leave it the more expensive the flight becomes, most airlines charge more if you book the ticket a few days or even a week before you want to departure, so the earlier you book it the cheaper the flight will cost.

Weekend departures
If you book your flight for the weekend then the ticket will cost you more money, as most people travel at the weekend, so try and book the flight departure during the week, and not only will your flight be cheaper but you’ll probably find that they will be more accommodation special offers

Travel out of school holidays
Like weekend departures flight prices increase during the school or bank holidays, so where you can try and book your flight during the school term.

Late night / Early morning flights
To save the most money when booking your airline ticket, book a flight either late at night or in the early hours of the morning, this is where the best savings are made, simply because of the unsocial flying times.

25 TIPS FOR A BETTER FLIGHT

• Make a note of where you parked your car at the airport. After a long trip, your memory will almost always fail you.
• If your seat mate won’t stop talking, pretend to be asleep.
• Cross-pack with a travel companion. That way, if the airline loses your luggage, you’ll still have half the clothes you need for the week.
• Wear shoes to the restroom. Bare feet and bad aim are an unpleasant combination.
• Match each alcoholic beverage with at least two glasses of water.
• If you are allergic to cats, bring your allergy medication. Passengers often bring cats on board and carry dander on their clothes.
• Always, always check that there is a barf bag in the pocket in front of you. You might not get sick, but you never know about your seat mate.
• When kids are howling or staring at you from the seat in front of you, hand them some crayons and a sick bag and tell them to make a hand puppet.
• Pack a small toy or a bag of snacks in your carry-on to quiet the screaming kid three rows back. Works every time and costs only pennies.
• Bring dollar bills, and if the kid behind you starts kicking your seat, bribe him with money to stop. Tell him that if he can keep from kicking your seat for the remainder of the flight, he’ll get $5. Works like a charm.
• Wear comfortable slip-on shoes.
• Unless you are traveling with children, always ask for an exit-row seat. You’ll get more legroom.
• Pack your favorite hot sauce. It can turn the worst in-flight or airport meal into a culinary delight.
• Wear noise-canceling headphones.
• Arrive early.
• Practice patience, and be prepared to test it abundantly.
• Forget how it used to be and play by the new rules — whatever they are.
• Be the person you would most like to fly with.
• Listen to an audio book. It takes up more time than the in-flight movie and is better exercise for your imagination.
• Make up lives for your fellow passengers. See that woman in the sweats, the one who looks tired but eager? She works in an office with a bullying boss, but today she’s flying to see someone she loves and trusts enough to be comfortable. The guy who’s pacing back and forth with the briefcase? He’s pitching a million-dollar client. The kid with the guitar case wearing rumpled clothes and a tie? You get the idea.
• Books! I was scolded many times for not including this tip. After all, I’m a writer myself. So, now that you mention it, you should bring one of my books!
• Ladies: Take the batteries out of your personal massage units; otherwise, the security search could prove quite embarrassing.
• Have great sex the night before you fly. You will be in a better mood and be more likely to sleep on the airplane.
• Hire your own jet and pilot.
• Drive instead!
