Getting cheap airline tickets is one of the things that many people look for, if they want to fly. Hunting for cheap tickets is sometimes a challenge before the trip begins. However, it turns out that there are several easy ways to get cheap airline tickets.
Here are some tips that you can try to increase your chances of getting cheap airline tickets,
Flexible
As reported by Travel Pulse, Tuesday (08/02/2022), Scott’s Cheap Flights founder Scott Keyes said, one of the main things you can do to save on airline tickets is to be flexible. That is, the price of airline tickets can indeed fluctuate due to various factors. The time or period of the order also affects the price.
So, be prepared, because cheap airline tickets can be found for departure times at any time. Using a tool like Google Flights can help you get the best prices.
Take advantage of flight search sites
Keyes recommends airline search websites such as Google Flights or SkyScanner Indonesia to search for discounted fares. You can also use Google Flights and other sites to set fare alerts. If the destination and travel date match, then the website will notify you if there is a price drop.

Know the right time to fly
Usually, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday are the cheapest days to fly. While Friday and Sunday are usually the most expensive days. Pegipegi’s VP of Commercial and Marketing, Ryan Kartawidjaja, said the same thing. Meanwhile, Pegipegi is a company that provides travel services, including airline tickets.
Avoid vacation times
Travelers can avoid very expensive airline tickets by not traveling in high season or long holidays. This means that you are better off avoiding long busy holiday periods, such as from mid-June to mid-August, and major holidays, such as Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Don’t rush to order tickets
Keyes mentions that there are certain periods when cheap flights are most likely to appear. “For domestic flights, the best time to book is usually one to three months before the date of travel. For international travel, two to eight months in advance,” Keyes said.
He continues that if the trip is during peak travel periods, such as Christmas, New Years, or other holidays, try to book a few months in advance. However, if you want to travel during the low season or weekdays, it’s likely that cheap fares will appear closer to your departure date. Even so, airline ticket prices generally tend to soar in the last month or two before departure. So, try not to book tickets too tight too.
Buy one ticket at a time
If you want to book tickets for a group or group, we recommend ordering one at a time, suggests Keyes. The reason is, if you order multiple tickets, the airline will include the entire group in the fare of one basket.
