To make for easy reading I’ve listed the tips in point format. The tips are taken from a number of reviews I’ve written and I’ve picked the important ones.
Book in advance
The best way to find a cheap flight is by booking early. Do not wait until the last minute or else you will be charged “last minute” fees, which are normally exorbitant. Booking early is always an advantage even as early as 10 weeks if possible..
Travel midweek
The week days are really the best times to travel that is between Monday and Thursday. The rest of the times the fares are much higher. Most people tend to want to fly over the weekends making them peak periods, if you want cheap flights consider mid week flights.
Book indirect flights
It is no secret that direct flights are costly. So the convenience of flying diredt comes at an expense.. If you are looking for the cheapest flights in the literal sense then direst flights are not an option.
Travel in winter
If you’ve ever taken the time to look at airfares during different times of the year you will see that winter fares are much cheaper. This is because winter is considered off peak in South Africa i.e. midyear since we are in the Southern Hemisphere.
Travel at night
Actually most of the flights are night flights. You will sometimes find day flights which are a big No if you want to fly cheap. However, it is always best to compare these flights just incase there is a discount being offered by the day-flights.
