Well the sky's over the USA are becoming more crowded and more complex. And when it comes to complexity how do you sort out and find the best deals around ? Here's a few secrets to help you get the best airfares possible within the US. A lot of these secrets work in almost any market but are particularly relevant to the US market. So here is our short list to get you on your way to a cheaper flight:
*Fly on the cheapest day of the week. It just happens to be on a Wednesday. So if you can move your schedule around to visit Grannie in Kansas go mid week and save heaps !
*Fly low cost carriers. Everyday there is a new one taking off but the best starting point for better airfares will always be with the LCC's. Check SouthWest, AirTran, JetBlue,Virgin America, Skybus, Frontier or Allegiant for starters. If your flying in Europe the lowest of the low is Ryanair.
* Be flexible with your vacation dates. Have a look at what dates you can get the best fares before you apply for your vacation.
* Make some money when you travel. These days overbooking flights is common and there's money in getting bumped. If you have all day to get somewhere and don't mind being bumped to a later flight ask at the gate lounge what there compensation deal is for the flight your on. If it seems good register your name. You don't have to take the deal but at least your at the top of the list.
