How to Book an Airline Ticket at the Cheapest Prices

Booking a cheap airline ticket can often feel like a daunting task, with fluctuating prices and countless options to consider. Understanding the strategies for finding affordable flights can make a significant difference to your budget. This guide will walk you through practical tips and tricks to secure the best deals, from utilizing fare comparison tools to knowing the right time to book.

What Is The Importance Of Booking A Cheap Flight Ticket?

Getting a flight ticket at a low price allows you to save more money, which can be used for other aspects of the trip, such as accommodation, food, shopping, or tourist activities. Low travel costs also mean that you may be able to travel more times during the year, giving you the opportunity to explore new destinations and diverse experiences.

How to Book a Cheap Airline Ticket

Booking a flight ticket to any destination around the world has never been as easy as it is today so we can take advantage of many mobile applications and websites through which it is possible to confirm your booking in just a few minutes.

But to get a ticket at a lower price, you need to know some basic tips on how to get the best price, which we will tackle in the following lines:

1. Airlines Selection

It is normal for airline fares and travel costs to vary based on the airline's level.

When you want to reduce your fares to any destination around the world, make sure you choose many airlines and compare among them, as the differences between flights to a single destination often depend on the prices of airlines.

2. Choose The Right Timing

Early booking and making your firm decision to travel in advance has a huge impact on your ticket price, as all flights offer bookings at clearly lower prices, often at rates of more than 100%.

Take advantage of the early booking feature, which we recommend, especially in the tourist seasons, where prices are higher than at any other time.

3. Choose The Right Airport

Expand your search to all airports around you, as other airports may have cheaper bookings, with more features. For example, if you are a resident of Istanbul, do not limit your options to Istanbul's new airport, as you may find more economical options at Sabiha Airport located on the Asian side of the city.

4. Choose the Number of Bags And Weight

All airlines determine the baggage allowances and the size of each of them, and sometimes companies vary in weight, with Middle East Airlines, for example, allowing you to carry a bag weighing 30 kg per passenger, as well as a suitcase of a specific size that can be taken to the upper cabin of the aircraft provided that it weighs no more than 10 kg.

While Pegasus Airlines set the baggage weights at 20 kg per passenger, in addition to hand luggage weighing no more than 7 kg, which means losing 30% of the weight compared to other airlines.

Pay attention to the load you carry in your suitcase, book your ticket accordingly, and be careful not to exceed the permissible weight, given the high cost that you can incur for each extra kilogram.

5. Multiple Destinations Trips Are Always The Cheapest 

if more flying hours are not a problem for you, consider multi-destination flights (transit, which is often obviously less expensive).

For example, the next picture of a flight reservation from Madrid International Airport to Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport, where the ticket price on the day we chose was 5076, for a direct flight of approximately 5:20 and a half hours.

In the following picture of another booking between the two same destinations, the price was only  3992, but for a trip that included a stopover and extended in total to about 10 and a half hours.
