Getting the best airfare for your trip is one of the most important aspects of planning air travel be it for business or for pleasure. Scott Keyes, founder and CEO of the flight deals site Scott’s Cheap Flights, said travelers should book between one to three months ahead for domestic flights at off-peak times and two to eight months for international flights to have the best chance at low prices.
If you deviate by traveling from a different city, wish to travel in an upgraded class of service, or wish to travel outside the program start and end dates, then we will apply a credit towards the total cost of the airfare and you will pay only the additional costs.
Lastly, it’s important to remember that this list can be separated into two main types: Booking sites (also called OTAs) that you book directly with as a third party, and aggregators otherwise known as meta-search sites that’ll send you to a booking site to make your transaction.
The combination of public fares, private fares, corporate fares and Category 25-derived fares mean that it is very challenging for you to know and understand all the fares you have in the market – who they are for, and if they are at the right prices.
That immediately adds three hours to your travel time, not counting the waiting around at the airports, baggage handling and all the extra hassle that goes with it. You will also have to pay separately for the bus or train journey from airport to city centre and vice versa.
