Search Hints for Savings on Airline Fares:

* Search for your fares at least 14 days in advance. Ticket Prices will increase dramatically if reservations are placed within 14 days of departure.

* If you are searching for one way fares only, Search and purchase a two way fare. The rate is usually cheaper and you are not penalized for using just half of the ticket.

* Try to select days that reflect staying over a Saturday.

* Discount seats are usually “blacked out” during holiday periods. However, you might be able to get a
discount fare if you fly on the holiday itself (e.g., New Year’s day).

* Conduct searches of one day before and after days of arrival and departure. You may find the day before or after your desired departure is considerably less.

* In a large metropolitan area, the fare could depend on which airport you use. For example, if you are going
to Southeast Florida and plan to rent a car, it might not make much difference if you fly to Miami or Ft.
Lauderdale, except for ticket price. Always check on alternate airports and routings when pricing a ticket.

* If Your Air Travel is an Emergency and you need immediate Travel arrangements, some Air Mile Programs will allow you to reclaim your air miles for a free ticket (If you have a qualifying amount) even if the travel is for the exact same day of reservations. 

* Conduct Searches for various Times of the Day.   Late night Departures for "Red Eye" flights are usually cheaper.

* Allowing Stops instead of direct flights, will usually result in a cheaper airfare.

* If you are persistent enough, running several searches on only one airline at several different departure times during a specific day may finally result in locating an inexpensive rated fare.
