I Need A Flight


Jon Lee in Airplane
People often ask me how do I find inexpensive flights? The answer is simple. Fly off-season and be flexible with your schedule. I usually fly late fall or early spring. I look for the most economical flights within an extended range of possible dates and comfortable flight times for the outbound and inbound flight. Before purchasing the ticket I make sure I have reliable transportation to get me to the airport on time. I will never give up comfort to catch an out of the way flight to save a few dollars. The sheer anxiety and discomfort is exhausting. I am speaking from experience. Never again!

NOTE: Don't always buy a ticket according to your frequent flyer program just to earn points. Sometimes it's best to get a cheaper more convenient flight instead of earning extra points.

* Multi-City Flights *


Depending on your travels it's better to fly into one city or country and fly out another instead of purchasing a round trip ticket. This is called an open-jaw ticket (also known as multi-city ticket). This type of ticket is perfect for visiting several cities or countries. Why travel back to your arrival city if your hundreds of miles away? May cost a little more money but your time is very precious.

* Searching for Flights *


I have listed below the websites that I use to find flights. I then book the flights directly with the airlines or a travel agent. If anything goes wrong it's easier to deal with the airlines or a travel agent instead of a third party website who sold you the airplane ticket. Make sure to write the day, time and flight numbers from your search in order to book the flights with your airline of choice.
